The stakeholders of Vaxia strongly believe that the present procurement process of MRO items is tedious, time consuming and often not backed by credible technical data. This unenviable job of procuring these - Tail End- MRO items often takes up more than 80% of the purchase personnel's time but the value of these items is usually less than 15% of the total purchase done by companies.

Vaxia will offer a large selection of qualified MRO products available at pre-negotiated prices from top manufacturers in India and abroad. Buyers can conclude the procurement activity in a fraction of the time it would have otherwise taken and all this from the comfort of their office and by following a convenient and transparent procurement process.
