Tarsus Distribution has introduced Tarsus Express Delivery, a two-hour logistics service that enables ICT resellers to deliver urgent small orders to their customers on the same day.
According to the distributor, it is responding to the needs of the on-demand economy with the new services that will be fulfilled through on-demand deliver service Sendr.
Tarsus Express Delivery is available within a 30km radius of the Tarsus Distribution hub in Woodmead, Johannesburg.
Resellers wanting to make use of the service need to place their orders online with Tarsus Distribution and the motorcycle delivery team will deliver within two hours. The cost of the service is R85 per delivery and is on offer Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm with a cut-off time of 3pm for deliveries the same day.
Both the reseller and its end-client receive SMS alerts as the delivery process progresses.
Shirlinia Jacobs, GM: channel sales at Tarsus Distribution, says today's world is a fast-paced one, and CEOs can't always wait until the following day to replace a faulty notebook.
She says the new service enables its resellers to speed up fulfilment of emergency orders to keep their customers happy when they need urgent help to keep their business running smoothly.
"We are committed to driving entrepreneurial development and have partnered with Sendr, an SME entrepreneur, to offer this service to our channel partners. Sendr is an on-demand delivery service, utilising motorcycles to deliver items for businesses and running personal errands for customers. We look forward to creating value for Tarsus Distribution customers with them," concludes Jacobs.
The service is available for a variety of products listed on the Tarsus Distribution portal. The products were selected as ones customers need most often at short notice, and are limited by the size of the motorcycle carry box.
