Engelbrecht said Checkers Sixty60’s approach to logistics management set it apart from competitors \u2014 including Amazon and Takealot.<\/p>\n
He added that it is one of the primary reasons the online delivery service was “very profitable”.<\/p>\n
“We have this very large footprint of stores that we use as micro fulfilment centres as opposed to a very expensive single dark distribution centre,” said Engelbrecht. “I know there are people who don’t believe it, but believe me \u2014 it is very profitable.”<\/p>\n
The software behind Checkers Sixty60 \u2014 SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) \u2014 also significantly contributes to the service’s success.<\/p>\n
Shoprite previously told MyBroadband that SAP’s Retail platform provides stock ledger and real-time sales data, which is critical for accurately fulfilling customer orders.<\/p>\n
“The ERP also provides promotional information, prices and article data to Sixty60, which ensures that the prices on Sixty60 are the same as the prices in-store,” Shorpite said.<\/p>\n
