Delivery Science Limited We are Delivery Science Limited (DS), a
software development enterprise. DS is rooted in a vision of
developing solutions to the logistic and data challenges of
business operations within a low trust economy like Nigeria. DS was
set up in July 2014 by its founders with a team of veteran software
engineers that are knowledgeable and flexible enough to respond
expeditiously to the variety of challenges our clients face in
their business environments. Consequently we have developed a

challenges in general, but also we continue to add to our portfolio
of bespoke solutions dealing with more specific challenges for
companies.

Our Merits DS is a small enterprise doing cutting edge work in
Nigeria. We are pioneers in our field, and are tackling challenges
that are of primary importance to Enterprises in Nigeria.
In Nigeria, as well as in many other low-trust economies, some
of the biggest challenges businesses face come via their logistics
and supply side processes. Many large enterprises suffer sizeable
losses as a result of their inability to main sufficient oversight
over these processes. What DS does is to identify such blind spots
and the consequent loss they realise and deliver control of these
blind spots back into the hands of the Enterprise.
Our solutions are innovative and sophisticated pieces of
technology designed by our veteran team of developers. Most of our
solutions are built and adapted for purpose. As such, our solutions
are designed to maximise ease of implementation i.e. not only is it
our policy to ensure that our solutions are as intuitive and easy
to use/learn, but also that they can fit easily into the
pre-existing technological framework that our clients might already
have invested in.
Our press presence Delivery Science is still a young company,
and in spite of our youth we have gathered some accolades and
generated a sizeable amount of local and international press
attention.
In January 2015, CNN named Delivery Science one of 10 African
Startups that rocked 2014, the article can be found here:
http://edition.cnn.com/2014/12/24/tech/africa-tech-startups-2014/
and the online magazine TechCabal picked on us as one of eight
start ups to watch in 2015 found here:

Our services In low-trust economies like Nigeria, the movement
of goods from one point to another is plagued with logistic
challenges. These challenges are of primary importance to large
organisations who suffer the most losses as a result. These large
organisations range from Fast Moving Consumer Good Companies, to
service sector companies to agencies of government. The
difficulties result first from a lack of control and oversight over
supply chain processes, and next from a lack of accountability with
field operators.
Delivery Science has tackled these issues, and has developed
solutions designed to tackle logistic challenges in its
entirety.

All of our products are specialised variants or subsets of our
Field Insight Solution.
The driving force behind this product is to build technology
& industry competence in managing field workforces and
locations, within Nigeria and eventually Africa.
In doing so we ask the following questions;
- What are the key concerns large organisations face? - How do
their field activities lose them money? - How can they more
effectively deploy their field assets to make more money?

Proof of Delivery
POD gives enterprises real-time access to the location of their
goods, and the activities of their field operators. POD works using
GPS via an Android phone, so no special hardware is required.
Managers are given visibility of their cars at all times
including their real time location, applicable schedules, the staff
involved in handling etc. In addition, the product comes with a
data gathering and compilation function which equips businesses
with retrospective insight into the trends that emerge from their
business processes over time.
The result is that enterprises are able to significantly reduce
losses arising out of leakage, unaccountable handling of goods and
inefficient allocation of resources.

Disco Manager
Disco Manager is another product from Delivery Science. The
objective of this application is to provide Disco providers with
the ability to view live - in the field information regarding
electricity distribution within their regions.
The application gives Managers to ability to monitor agents,
customers, assets from a central dashboard thereby saving money,
time and effort required to gather this information. The
application also gives Managers insight into how efficient their
operations are.
The result of this application is that DISCOs are able to
identify weak points in operations, loss of revenue, and
inefficient allocation of resources.

Health Management System
Health Manager System Pro is our Public Health Management
solution. The application was built in response to the Ebola
epidemic and slow response times from the Governments of the
affected West African countries.
HMS Pro works as an automated system of recording and managing
cases, locations, and resource allocation in times of public health
emergencies.
Using HMS Pro, the relevant users would be able - in real time -
to gather information about their field staff within their mobile
quarantine centres, in various geographic locations, in addition to
their public hospitals and warehouses on the magnitude of the
crisis. From this they would be able to access the resources at
their disposal, and the resources needed.

Automated Stocktaking Application
Inventory management processes in Nigeria are heavily manual.
Many enterprises operate systems that are not secure, disorganised
and time consuming. The result is that many enterprises exhaust a
lot of resources in long and tedious processes of stock and
inventory management that may or may not continue to leave room for
theft of stock and other avenues for losses.
ASA is a subset of our proposed Inventory Manager solution. ASA
ensures that every item that enters or leaves the stockroom is
recorded as well as the staff involved in the process. This way, a
reliable and accurate account of inventory is always
maintained.

Other Applications
Payroll Plus
Enterprises in Nigeria still rely on manual or semiautomatic
means of handling their staff payments and compensations. For
example, many firms still employ an individual to manually process
payments, benefits, deductions, taxes, pensions etc for all their
staff. Payroll Plus was developed to fix this problem.
Payroll Plus is a high utility platform developed for employers
to manage all employee compensation functions. It works as a simple
and secure web based platform on which enterprises can register all
their employees and micro- manage their compensation as well as
their statutory obligations (like taxes and pension schemes).
Employers can register employees or invite them to register
themselves.

SME Genius
In Nigeria, the process of lending to Small and Medium Sized
Enterprises (SMEs) is tedious and involves several levels of
interfacing between financial institutions and the prospective
borrowers. As such, there is an impetus for institutions to invest
resources in researching and verifying the creditworthiness of all
applicants, and this process is costly and inefficient. In response
to this unique problem, DS developed SME Genius.
SME Genius is an web or android application that is utilised by
prospective borrowers to record their financial activities for a
period specified by a financial institution. The information
gathered is at the disposal of the bank in general and the agent in
charge of the applicants account. The banks can use the app to
infer and conclude on whether an SME is creditworthy, without
needing to spend money on tedious information gathering ventures.
In addition, the SME applicant is given tips and aided in getting
an appointment with the bank. All the relevant requirements are
listed and at the disposal of the loan seeker.
