- The Company is a registered vendor on the United Nations Global Marketplace (UNGM).
- Delivery, installation and training are performed by the Senegalese subsidiary. The Company established it in January 2020 to keep the equipment in operation after installation.
- The Company has been selected for programmes of Japanese ministries and JICA, and has conducted pilots in Senegal under these programmes.
