Global Industrial Distributor launches e-commerce website for Sub-Saharan Africa

RS Components (RS), the trading brand of Electrocomponents plc (LSE: ECM), the global distributor for engineers was founded as Radiospares, in 1937. The company started as a supplier of parts to the burgeoning radio market that has evolved into a global distribution enterprise, with operations in Europe, North America, Asia and now Africa offering a diverse portfolio of more than 500,000 industrial, maintenance and electronic components across 2500 global brands. RS is globally renowned as one of the first industrial distributors to successfully transition into an e-commerce business within the B2B space and continues to win awards for innovation and supplier development.

RS South Africa opened its doors in 1996, the flagship operation in Africa with 22 years of experience distributing products and components to engineers around the African continent. RS South Africa recently launched the Africa website www.rsonline.africa geared to meet the requirements of a growing continent with demand from various industries such as manufacturing, mining, automotive, utilities, electronics, and industrial IOT. “Customers in Africa had access to our products prior to the website, however there were long lead times and higher freight costs depending on location. With the new website customers receive their products much quicker and we can give additional markets in Africa access to our range through our e-commerce platform where they can pay via credit card. There is also an improved customer experience with our French and Portuguese speaking sales agents, so that customers can comfortably engage in their language of preference. So much is happening in Africa – we want our engineers, makers and maintenance professionals to have access to the widest range of products and the latest technologies to achieve their goals and to develop the products and solutions of the future. The rest of the world has easy access to these goods, now so does Africa,” said Brian Andrew, Managing Director of RS South Africa.

RS is passionate about STEM education and globally supports a number of initiatives aimed at upskilling the next generation of engineers and technicians. This includes being a global distributor for Raspberry Pi (a credit card size single board computer at $ 35) which essential functions as a PC and has sold over 15 million units worldwide. RS also supports numerous engineering endeavours such as Solar Car Challenges, the SpaceX – Hyperloop challenge, Development of 3D prosthetics, various robot prototypes, and initiatives that develop and improve satellite technology for space.

The new RS Africa website currently services the following countries Angola, Botswana, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe with more to follow in the future.

RS will be exhibiting at the Manufacturing Indaba taking place on 19-20 June 2018 at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa. The Manufacturing Indaba is the leading manufacturing event in Sub-Saharan Africa where manufacturing leaders and experts explore opportunities to improve and grow their manufacturing operations. RS will be showcasing some of its Industrial IoT products used in Industry 4.0 applications as well as the latest technologies used in automation.

Building Africa – One Website at a Time

Building Africa – One Website at a Time:


HOSTRIVER launches innovative professional DIY Website Building services for SMEs.

Johannesburg, 12 June 2018 – South African Internet solutions company, HOSTRIVER, today launched its Website Builder service – aimed at the Small to Medium Enterprise (SME) sector. The Do-It-Yourself (DIY) website building platform affords SMEs the opportunity to take control of their online presence with an affordable and easy to implement professional online web building service.

Founder and CEO of HOSTRIVER, Madoda Khuzwayo, a perennial entrepreneur, understands the power of a professional online presence, hence his commitment to assisting fellow Africans get their foot on the digital ladder: “From the get go, businesses should be able to create and own their own digital architecture presenting it to their audiences with as much professionalism as possible – website, email and all that comes with being operational in a digital world. A website is a digital shop window and possibly the most powerful tool any business has to create that first impression and start trading, so it needs to be easy to implement and maintain.”

Being in control of own look, feel, content and operability from the beginning of the business journey is economically empowering. Having the option to build an eCommerce store with a variety of payment gateways from the outset, also takes the website from a showcase to a transactional portal immediately. eCommerce has many benefits for SMEs and the overall economy. It is also an important job creating tool. For example, one sale made online positively affects many industries from manufacturing to packaging and shipping. In every stage it’s indirectly creating or sustaining jobs. “It is therefore arguable that the more SMEs jump onto the eCommerce bandwagon, the better for the economy as a whole,” said Khuzwayo.

Beyond that though, is the requirement to involve and retain the customer. The HOSTRIVER Website Builder service offers this in abundance. “I believe that we have created an exciting product that will play an instrumental role in helping shape an economically engaged era through the power of the digi-sphere,” added Khuzwayo.
But why opt for a Website Builder and a DIY approach instead of hiring a web designer?
“Hiring a web designer is an expensive exercise and more often than not, SME’s are left disappointed at the level of service they get” said Khuzwayo. As a result, HOSTRIVER believes that the time for outsourcing web design is over. Today’s technology allows almost anyone to create a website that is secure, smart, fast, easy to maintain and one that is certainly more affordable, plus DIY gives SME’s control over their most valuable asset, their online presence.

A website is either a sales and marketing tool or a transactional eCommerce platform. The skills needed to make it (and the business) successful, are proficiency at digital marketing, not coding. Coding is just a means to an end and with a product like HOSTRIVER Website Builder, the code comes built in. Further, Khuzwayo believes, websites that are built on the back of code by IT engineers generally tend to be about the backend technology rather than the front-end usability (although UX is becoming part of the enterprise digital remit). While data collection and analysis are increasingly important, for an SME, the most critical is to have a website that looks professional and that works from birth.

Khuzwayo also believes that what sets HOSTRIVER apart, is that the company retains its own entrepreneurial spirit and approach. Consequently, it understands what start-ups and small businesses need, and what it takes to grow with them.
HOSTRIVER Website Builder offers affordable rich, full-featured website options, complete with eCommerce capability. The websites are responsive and optimised for Desktop, Tablet and Mobile with advanced security features that are compliant with global standards, for example, browsers will soon be blocking websites that do not use SSL and all HOSTRIVER websites comes with SSL included. The simple web-based control panel automates and simplifies the website building process affording users with limited technical skills the ability to create new websites fast and easily update existing ones with ease. Importantly, all websites on HOSTRIVER Website Builder are never deleted even if the client fails to pay. They just get suspended but never deleted, allowing the website owner to come back anytime and re-activate the website.

“You shouldn’t have to work for your website, it should work for you,” concluded the man who knows.

BlindCraft Celebrates Their Website Launch

BlindCraft Celebrates Their Website Launch:

Be bold with your next home renovation and add a pop of colour with these Daffodil Aluminium Venetian Blinds

BlindCraft celebrates the launch of their website and online window blinds store.

Cape Town, South Africa: Today BlindCraft announces the launch of their groundbreaking online window blinds store. Their website contains a “Build Your Blinds” visualiser, the first of its kind in South Africa. The innovative visualiser is set to redefine the South African home decor industry as it allows customers to “see” the finished product before it is ever made. Customers can select from hundreds of options to create a product truly tailored to their needs.

BlindCraft is also leading the way in quality. Their Made-To-Measure window blinds are SABS approved and come with an industry leading 2 year warranty, ensuring customers get the best products available in South Africa.

A recent home renovation by Dr. Nicholas Coetzee had this to say about the quality and ease of ordering his window blinds online; “I recently did a number of renovations to my home and found it quite stressful dealing with the various tradesmen. BlindCraft, on the other hand, made it easy. With just a few clicks I was able to design and order the blinds I wanted.”

To achieve the launch of their website and online window blinds store; BlindCraft did extensive competitor research to ensure that their brand and product would provide value to their current clients and home decor enthusiasts.

By finding a gap in the market, they were able to build the countries only window blinds visualiser as well as ensuring SABS approval for their products. This has been able to benchmark their brand as a strong window blinds competitor in the South African market.
