Tigers South Africa has opened a dedicated e-commerce centre at its Johannesburg warehouse facility as online retail demand soars.

The centre is equipped with the Tigers-developed ScanPak App to allow staff to conduct scan checks while packing shipments and create waybills.

The e-commerce centre is the first of its kind for Tigers in South Africa and coincides with the freight rate quote engine Doozee being rolled-out across its network.

Paul Lawrence, managing director of Tigers South Africa says: “With the ongoing e-commerce revolution and digital technology transforming the way consumers shop, we find ourselves in a very good strategic position to further enhance and grow this vertical for Tigers.”

Andrew Jillings, chief executive officer of Tigers says: “The new dedicated e-commerce centre in South Africa is an important investment for the future direction of Tigers and is a testament to the hard work of the team in South Africa in developing the new facility.”
