We help South African retailers, distributors, and 3PLs improve warehouse performance, reduce fulfilment costs, and gain real-time control of their last-mile delivery operations.
Consulting and technology solutions deployed across South African retail, wholesale, and 3PL distribution operations.
We work directly with your operations team to find where time and cost are being lost — and deliver a clear plan to recover them.
Layout reviews, slotting analysis, picking path design, and labour productivity assessments. We identify where your operation loses time and give you a concrete plan to address it.
End-to-end assessments covering procurement, inbound logistics, inventory positioning, and outbound fulfilment. We document current state, identify gaps, and build improvement roadmaps with measurable targets.
From capacity modelling to equipment selection and flow design, we support distribution centre expansion projects with practical, data-backed recommendations grounded in your actual volumes and SKU profiles.
Evaluating AMRs, conveyors, sorters, or automated storage? We help you build the business case, assess vendor proposals, and ensure your facility is operationally ready before you invest.
We design and implement operational scorecards tied to real business outcomes — picking accuracy, units per hour, order cycle time. If your team can't measure it, they can't improve it.
Supply chain projects fail when the people side is neglected. We run structured implementation programmes with stakeholder alignment, team training, and handover built in from the start.
We partner with best-in-class technology providers and bring full implementation capability — from scoping to go-live — to the South African market.
Optioryx adds an AI optimisation layer on top of your existing WMS, TMS, or ERP — it doesn't replace what you already run. The platform splits into two product lines: Pulse for picking, packing, palletising, and slotting decisions, and Flux for mobile data capture in the warehouse. Both are ISO 27001 compliant and exposed via API.
As the appointed South African implementation partner, OptiChain runs the full project lifecycle — data extraction, model configuration, WMS integration, go-live, and ongoing optimisation reviews.
Warehouse optimisation software backed by a warehouse digital twin. Modular algorithms for AI Picking (shortest paths, order clustering), 3D Cartonization (right box, less shipping air), 3D Palletization (stable, fuller pallets), AI Slotting (ABC plus correlations and zone constraints), Combined Pick & Pack, and Transport Cost Calculation. Includes congestion, SKU velocity, and compliance heatmaps. Optioryx cites 15-30% higher picking productivity, 10-30% lower transport costs, and up to 50% less walking.
AI mobile data gathering for warehouse and logistics teams. A no-code workflow builder for capturing data on iOS, Android, or Zebra devices: mobile dimensioning of SKUs, parcels, and pallets; AI vision scanning and OCR for packing lists, labels, and bills of lading; cargo inspections with visual proof; digital compliance audits; returns handling; and order entry automation from email. Works offline, syncs when devices reconnect. Free tier available.
FarEye is a global logistics visibility and last-mile delivery management platform used by leading retailers and logistics operators worldwide. It brings real-time shipment tracking, delivery exception management, and end-customer delivery experience capabilities to your outbound operation.
OptiChain represents FarEye in the South African market, supporting business case development, implementation scoping, and integration with your existing carrier network, ERP, and warehouse management systems.
We're a specialist consultancy. Our focus is supply chain and warehouse operations, and we bring practical experience from real implementations across South African retail and distribution.
We understand South African retail and DC operations, carrier networks, and the practical constraints that global playbooks miss.
Every recommendation is backed by your data. We build the business case before the project starts, so you know what you're investing in and what to expect back.
We don't hand over a report and disappear. We stay through implementation, training, and handover to make sure the improvement holds.
Warehouse and supply chain operations is all we do. You get a team that has worked through the problems you're facing — not generalist consultants learning on the job.
Whether you're planning a DC expansion, evaluating software, or looking for an independent operational assessment — start with a conversation.
Our team is based in Johannesburg and works with clients across South Africa.
