Afri Welding and Tools opts for flexibility, optimisation of stock in choosing IQ Retail's ERP solution


Johannesburg, 17 May 2018

Afri Welding and Tools, a well-established business based in Rosslyn, Pretoria, is synonymous for its superior service and high-quality products in the supply and repair of all welding and gas cutting equipment.

Establishing the need for a system that could better manage its inventory, the search began for a suitable system. A new system had to support the multifaceted operations of the business, optimise the company's inventory, while maintaining the high standard of customer service, continuously delivering effective management information and being able to support future growth.
