Operations managers and warehouse leads rely on our distribution network for consistent order accuracy and dependable last-mile delivery. Here is what they say about working with us.
Since moving our regional stock to Ara Distribution, we see live inventory levels across all three of our warehouses. Cycle counts dropped from monthly to weekly, and our pick errors fell by nearly a third within the first quarter.
Rev. lesego Patel, Operations Lead at a Cape Town retail groupOur e-commerce orders used to leave the warehouse late because drivers were juggling scattered stops. Ara's consolidated delivery routes cut our average dispatch time by 40 minutes and reduced fuel spend on the Johannesburg run.
Judith Potgieter, Fulfilment Manager at an online homeware storeWe were unsure whether cross-docking suited our fast-moving lines. Ara walked us through the trade-offs, set up the receiving schedule, and now our high-turnover SKUs move out the same day they arrive.
Sandile Solomons, Supply Chain Coordinator at a Durban electronics distributorOur perishable range needed consistent cold-chain handling. Ara's temperature-controlled bays are monitored around the clock, and the weekly reports give us the audit trail we need for compliance.
Warehouse Supervisor, Gauteng food supplierDuring peak season our order volume doubles, but Ara's pick-and-pack workflow absorbs the spike without slowing down. We hit our dispatch targets every week in November and December.
