03 E-commerce fulfilment
Your Shopify store, fulfilled from our floor
Connect your Shopify store and we take it from there. Orders flow straight into our warehouse system, every item is picked and checked by scan, packed, and handed to the right courier for that parcel, and your customer gets the tracking number from your own store. The software is ours too, so nothing is stitched together from three vendors.
- Orders straight from Shopify, no rekeying
- Every item scanned, every failed check photographed
- Courier chosen by rules: area, weight and order value
- Fulfilment and tracking sent back to Shopify
Pick & pack
Scan-checked, size by size
Handheld picking on bin-sorted routes, every unit scanned, quality checks at the pick and a second check at the pack bench. Two pairs a size apart look identical in a box; our system does not let them swap.
Courier rules
The right courier for every parcel
Rules match each parcel to a courier and service by delivery area, weight, order value and units. Door-to-door or pickup point, booked as the order is packed, with thermal labels and signed courier manifests. We work with South Africa's leading couriers.
Visibility
Every order, every stage
Addresses checked before booking, a live board of orders by stage, and a full trail of who picked, checked and packed every order.
