Everything you need to know before placing your first order with Troven.
Getting Started
Troven is a sourcing-and-supply intermediary. We find the best supplier for what you need, coordinate delivery, supervise any service work, and handle all the documentation - so you deal with one professional partner instead of multiple vendors.
We work exclusively with institutions - NGOs, international organisations, government bodies, schools, corporates, and UN agencies. We don't serve individual retail customers.
No strict minimum. We handle orders of all sizes. For best pricing on bulk categories like grocery and cleaning materials, larger volumes help - but we won't turn away a smaller order.
Yes. Troven Enterprises - SMC Ltd is registered with URSB, holds a KCCA trading licence, is TIN registered with URA, and is registered on the PPDA supplier portal. All documentation is available on request.
