How Supply-Only International Projects Work: Product Scope vs Local Works

A supply-only model can work very well internationally when every interface is clear. Problems usually appear when product supply, freight, local installation and statutory responsibility are blended together without definition.

Planning guidance — final product and site requirements are confirmed per project.
01

Define what Apollo is supplying

The quotation should clearly identify the product, options, accessories, documentation and delivery scope. That gives the local project team a fixed boundary to plan around.

02

Define what remains local

Foundations, civil works, electrical connections, lifting, installation labour and statutory approvals may remain with local contractors unless specifically included. These items should be identified early rather than assumed.

03

Use drawings as the common language

Dimensions, fixing interfaces and approved layouts help teams in different countries work from the same assumptions. Final project documents should take precedence over general website information.

04

Choose local capability deliberately

The installer or contractor should understand the supplied system and have the tools, access and trade capability required for the local scope. Supply-only works best when the destination team is selected around the actual project requirements.
