In order to maximise the opportunities created by a constantly fluctuating
South African market, it has become essential for food, beverage and
pharmaceutical manufacturers to seek an affordable, reliable distribution
network, and sound sales base to maintain and improve their market
position and profitability.
By working with top manufacturers and retailers, Supply Chain Services
have developed a national infrastructure providing a comprehensive
range of essential services and systems that include:
- National infrastructure
- Sophisticated stock management systems
- Reliable 130 vehicle fleet
- Centralised national customer service
- Improved inventory level control
- Efficient customer services
- Credit control
By offering a service of stock management and stock control, we remove
the need for manufacturers to invest in warehouses, security, stock
control systems and management to control their stock.
Supply Chain Services’ key criteria is based on solid principals
that include:
- Service Level Measurements - Monitoring of order sequence and
date ordered vs date received.
- Invoicing Accuracy - Level of saleable and unsaleable returns
and price adjustment credits.
- Stock Accuracy - Physical vs theoretical, picking differences,
lost sales and SCS theoretic vs client theoretical.
Through our dedicated computerised warehouse management systems,
speed ordering and packing procedures, we are able to facilitate fast
stock turnaround, product freshness and minimal inventory, whilst
providing details
for management information.
The key criteria are cost efficiency, speed, reliability, flexibility
and innovation.
Representing South Africa’s foremost food, pharmaceutical and
beverage manufacturers, we take pride in our eminent product mix,
which includes Adcock Ingram, Procter & Gamble, Aspen Pharmacare,
Coca-Cola, Ceres Fruit Juices, Bull Brand and Wrigley to name but
a few.
At Supply Chain Services, our company philosophy goes beyond productivity
merely as a notion of processing merchandise.
