How to Submit an Internal Transportation Service Request on Baramen
What is Internal Transportation?
Internal transportation refers to the process of moving goods from a specified point of origin to a destination within a country. This process commences when a product is dispatched from its production center or designated location and continues until it arrives at its final destination. Internal transportation plays a vital role in a country’s economy, ensuring that raw materials, finished products, and other items are efficiently transported to their intended locations. This encompasses various modes of transport, including road, rail, air, and maritime transportation, facilitating seamless internal transfers throughout the country.

Step 4 - Viewing, Reviewing, and Selecting the Best Proposal
-
Viewing and Reviewing Proposals: To view the proposals received, navigate to the right menu in the customer section, select Service Requests, and then choose Proposals from Service Providers from the dropdown menu to display the proposal table.
-
Proposal Details: Click on the View icon to see the details of each proposal.

Communicating with Service Providers: If you wish to negotiate with service providers before accepting or rejecting a proposal, you can use the Contact User button to chat directly with the service provider through Baramen’s chat platform.
-
Accepting or Rejecting Proposals: At the bottom of each proposal, there are buttons to either accept or reject it. If the proposal meets your expectations, select the Accept button; otherwise, choose the Reject button.
If you accept a proposal, you will be directed to the next step, which involves payment of the invoice.
Step 5 - Invoice Payment
After accepting your chosen proposal, you will need to make the payment for the order as agreed. For a secure transaction experience, we recommend using Baramen’s secure payment gateway. When payment is made through Baramen’s platform, the invoice amount will remain in escrow until the order registration and product delivery process is complete. Baramen does not bear any responsibility for transactions made without utilizing its secure payment options.
After making the payment, provide the necessary details in the comments section, and upload the payment receipt and any other relevant documents. Then, click the Payment Completed button.
If you have decided not to proceed with the service, click the Cancel button before making any payment and provide your reasons. Please note that once payment has been made, you will not have the option to cancel your request.
When using Baramen’s secure payment method, you will be directed to the payment portal, and a payment confirmation will be sent to the vendor. The next step will involve preparing the order. If you use other payment methods, after selecting the invoice payment option, the next step will require confirmation of payment by the vendor.
Step 6 - Service Execution
Once the customer has transferred the order amount, the service provider must also confirm the receipt of the payment into their account (if Baramen’s secure payment gateway is used, the payment confirmation for both parties will be processed automatically).
After payment confirmation, the service provider is obligated to perform the requested services within the specified timeframe.
Step 7 - Completion of the Process; Feedback and Rating
After the service provider has completed the service, you will have the opportunity to rate their performance and leave your feedback.
