How It Works

From requirement to delivery — one coordinated workflow.

Thomas & Tayo combines procurement technology with commercial operations to help institutional buyers source agricultural commodities across multiple qualifying supply points without managing every source independently.

The Procurement Journey

A transparent, step-by-step process that turns your requirement into a delivered solution.

  1. 1

    Define the Requirement

    Tell us the commodity, specification, quantity, destination, delivery date and any quality or documentation requirements.

    Buyer outcome: One structured RFQ becomes the basis for sourcing.

  2. 2

    Search Qualifying Supply

    We identify potential supply across participating warehouses and approved sources that can satisfy the requirement.

    Buyer outcome: Wider supply reach without contacting every source independently.

    Qualification & Verification

    Relevant inventory, warehouse, seller, quality and validation information is reviewed before supply progresses.

    Buyer outcome: Better visibility into the supply being considered.

    Multi-Source Aggregation

    Where no single source can fulfil the requirement, qualifying quantities can be combined into one coordinated sourcing proposal.

    Buyer outcome: Large requirements can be fulfilled from fragmented supply.

    Supplier Confirmation

    Proposed sources reconfirm availability, quantities, commercial terms and release readiness.

    Buyer outcome: The quotation is based on current confirmed supply rather than stale listings.

    Consolidated Landed Quotation

    Thomas & Tayo brings the applicable commodity, handling, quality, logistics and service components together into one structured quotation.

    Buyer outcome: One commercial position instead of multiple disconnected quotes.

  7. 7

    Review & Acceptance

    The authorised buyer reviews the sourcing proposal and commercial terms and may accept or request clarification.

    Buyer outcome: A clear approval point before fulfilment begins.

  8. 8

    Authorised Receipt & Payment Processes

    Applicable warehouse-receipt and payment processes remain with authorised institutions and licensed payment channels.

    Buyer outcome: Procurement coordination without Thomas & Tayo replacing regulated infrastructure.

  9. 9

    Fulfilment

    We coordinate release, loading, transport, delivery milestones and proof of delivery.

    Buyer outcome: One managed path from confirmed stock to destination.
