Client Success Stories

Real schools. Real results. Reliable procurement.

At EquipMySchool, we measure success by the impact we have on schools. From simplifying procurement processes to delivering resources on time and within budget, our work is about helping schools focus on education rather than administration. Here are just some of the ways we’ve supported international schools worldwide.

Streamlining Procurement with the Portal

A procurement challenge many schools face is the method of compiling requirements. Often teachers and staff rely heavily on manually created spreadsheets to request and track supplies which can often leading to inefficiencies, communication gaps, and delays in finalizing orders. To address this very issue, Kongsberg International School partnered with EquipMySchool and adopted the E-Procurement Portal as part of their process. The implementation was seamless and allowed for an immediate transition away from manual processes.

The results were swift and significant;

Teachers gained access to powerful tools for product research and price comparison.
Orders were built within a designated budget from the outset.
Management had full visibility of the procurement progress and were able to collaborate with staff online.

In modernising their procurement approach through the E-Procurement Portal, Kongsberg International School achieved a more efficient and user-friendly system that noticeably reduced administrative time and allowed the teachers to focus on the classroom.

Streamlining Procurement with the Portal

Reliable Freight, No Surprises

“Operating the International School of Ouagadougou in landlocked Burkina Faso presents many unique challenges. The biggest one is getting quality supplies. There are restrictions on how materials can be transported to, and within, its borders. Security concerns and political unrest further complicate the delivery process, making consistent and reliable procurement essential for ISO.

Our solution has been ongoing for over 15 years. Since 2009 our school community has partnered with EquipMySchool as ISO’s overseas consolidator, sourcing and shipping educational supplies annually. EMS provides the delicate balance of global logistics expertise, familiarity with country-specific risks and regulations, and collaboration with needed parties in Burkina Faso so that I can get needed materials into my teachers' hands.

EMS is staffed by a team of professionals who are down-to-earth, good human beings who show patience, understanding and support. As the very busy Director, elementary principal and music teacher of our small school, it is wonderful to know I have reliable friends at EquipMySchool. We connect to put in orders via the easy-to-use site, and they follow up with weekly reports via email to keep me updated, and with WhatsApp calls and messages for any urgent matters. I know they have our back and will get us the goods we want.

Dependable, secure deliveries no matter the circumstances allow the school to focus on what matters most -- the well-being and learning of our students, staff and families.

Thanks EMS for being part of the ISO family!”
