Service Overview

Turning Markets into Connected, Measurable & Bankable Ecosystems

The TradEdge Field Agents & Enumeration Network is a structured, technology-driven network of trained agents deployed across markets, motor parks, clusters and rural communities. These agents serve as the physical backbone of the TradEdge ecosystem – capturing accurate data, verifying identities, onboarding users, and supporting live programs in real time.

For state governments, MDAs, DFIs, NGOs, private sector schemes and trade associations, this network offers a ready-made, plug-and-play infrastructure to reach the informal sector at scale – safely, transparently and measurably – without building an expensive field operation from scratch.

Verified, High-Quality Data

Enumerations supported by digital tools, GPS tagging, document capture and multi-layer verification workflows.

  • Standardised onboarding scripts and workflows aligned with each program’s objectives.
  • Built-in monitoring with dashboards for state MDAs, partners and funders.

Core Capabilities

What the TradEdge Field Agents & Enumeration Network Delivers

Beyond simple data collection, our agents operate as a full service last-mile channel – combining enumeration, education, support and ongoing engagement for both citizens and institutions.

  • GPS-tagged records for location authenticity.
  • Photo and document uploads (e.g. ID cards, shop images).

KYC, Verification & Quality Control

Multi-layer verification flows ensure that data captured by agents is accurate, consistent and suitable for policy, financial and regulatory use.

  • Automated validation rules built into forms.
  • Supervisor review and escalation workflows.
  • Integration with NIN/BVN and other verification APIs (where applicable).

  • Enrolment into insurance, safety nets and social programs.
  • Education on how to use the TradEdge platform and benefits responsibly.

  • Market-level forums and small group sessions.
  • Distribution of educational materials and guides.
  • Continuous feedback loop from citizens back to program owners.

Monitoring, Surveys & Impact Tracking

Agents can be redeployed easily to run baseline surveys, midline assessments and endline evaluations for programs hosted on TradEdge.

  • Real-time dashboards for program managers and donors.
  • Geo-visualisation of coverage and activity.
  • Evidence-based reporting that satisfies auditors and stakeholders.

Ongoing Support & Escalation Channel

Even after initial onboarding, agents serve as a trusted, local contact point for complaints, enquiries, updates and issue resolution.

Impact & Assurance

Built for Accountability, Transparency & Long-Term Systems Change

The TradEdge Field Agents & Enumeration Network is not a one-off project team – it is a growing, institutional infrastructure designed to support multiple programs and partners over time.

  • NDPR-aligned data handling and strict internal policies for privacy and security.
  • Role-based access so that agents, supervisors, MDAs, donors and partners see only what they should.
  • Audit-ready logs that record user, time, location and activity for every transaction or change.
  • Program-specific SLAs with escalation paths and periodic joint reviews.

For investors and government stakeholders, this means that resources deployed through TradEdge can be traced, measured and defended – in parliament, in boardrooms and before independent auditors.

Field Agents Network – FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions from governments, associations, DFIs and private partners about how the TradEdge Field Agents & Enumeration Network operates.

Agents are drawn from local communities, markets and trade clusters, then screened based on integrity, communication skills and basic digital literacy. They undergo structured training on the TradEdge platform, data protection, KYC processes, program-specific guidelines, and ethics before they are allowed to capture live data.

Yes. TradEdge is built to support co-branded implementations. For example, a state can launch the “State Trader & Artisan Enumeration Program powered by TradEdge”, with joint visibility on communication materials, ID cards, dashboards and reports – while TradEdge provides the underlying technology and agent infrastructure.

Timelines depend on coverage scope and complexity. A pilot in a few markets can be configured and deployed relatively quickly once goals, forms and governance structures are agreed. Larger state-wide or multi-partner engagements may require phased roll-out. During scoping, TradEdge will propose a detailed implementation schedule aligned with your timelines and budget.

Data ownership and access are clearly defined in the legal and operational agreements for each program. TradEdge acts as a secure data processor and infrastructure provider. Partner governments, institutions and programs typically retain rights over program data in line with NDPR and other applicable regulations, while beneficiaries retain rights over their personal data.

You can reach the TradEdge team through the contact page or send an email to support@tradedge.ng. Our team will schedule a live demo, technical briefing and strategy session tailored to your state, institution or program needs.
