Local businesses for our supplier development programme
Local businesses graded as suppliers for the supplier development programme.
What it does
Every year: independent hardware stores, transport companies, caterers and workshops in the towns near your mines, graded by Jev as local suppliers, for the local procurement programme.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, take your table, find hardware stores, trucking companies and 2 more nearby, remove duplicates, decide with Jev, sort them by ready_score and keep the top 40, then add row in Google Sheets and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Buying locally builds goodwill and meets local content rules. The programme starts with the readiest businesses.
Who it is for

The time it saves
Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 120 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 2 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 8 blocks.
