Butlers POS+ Logic, a Cape Town-based company that specializes in providing integrated Point-of-Sale logistics solutions, received global recognition in front of the greatest brands across the globe for being the \u201cMost Innovative Warehousing & Logistics Solutions Brand\u201d at the 7th annual Global Brands Magazine Awards held at Emperor\u2019s Palace this past Friday evening.<\/p>\n

Each year, more than 8 000 companies from 130 countries are evaluated by the Global Brands Magazine in its quest to identify the best brands in the world. Nominations are accepted for different countries and regions before they are adjudicated by an independent, external research agency. The annual awards ceremony attracts executives of top brands from around the world who gather to receive the coveted award. This was the first time in the history of the awards that the event took place in Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Global Brands awards have become a benchmark indicator of the world\u2019s leading brands. The aim of these public accolades is to honour excellence in performance and long-term customer satisfaction. Companies across different sectors are rewarded for performing exceptionally well in various different fields, including finance, education, hospitality, lifestyle, automobiles and technology. They create awareness about the significance of exceptional service delivery and are rewarded for rising above the rest,\u201d said Shiva Kumar, Director of Global Brands Magazine Awards.<\/p>\n

\u201cReceiving this public recognition in front of the world\u2019s leading brand owners was both an exhilarating and humbling experience,\u201d reports Johan Slabbert, Chief Executive Officer of Butlers POS+ Logic. Founded in 1997, the company focuses specifically on delivering in-store marketing to the retail environment. \u201cWhen we started our business 22 years ago, we never would have imaged that we would one day share the stage with some of the world\u2019s biggest and most recognised brands. Being singled out for developing a cutting-edge and innovative brand in the cutting-edge world of warehousing and logistics is most definitely a dream come true and the result of hard work and commitment by a team of dedicated individuals who are passionate about what we do,\u201d Slabbert says.<\/p>\n

Point-of-Sale (POS) Logistics is increasingly regarded as a crucial element of a brand owners\u2019 success as it supports their marketing initiatives, increases in-store visibility and is vital to achieving increased sales, brand loyalty and enhancing the customers\u2019 in-store experience with the brand. Butlers POS+ Logic provides logistics solutions to a diverse range of clients, ranging from international brand leaders in sports gear and apparel to pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and perfumes and energy providers.<\/p>\n

\u201cManaging a large variety of different products and campaigns on any given day is a very difficult and complex operation. It is almost impossible to standardise or automate processes and you cannot afford to have a \u201cone-size-fits-all\u201d approach. As a result, we see global brands being bombarded with volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity within their markets. This causes high levels of stress and anxiety among the marketing team members and business leaders, and is almost always at the cost of creativity and brand authenticity,\u201d Johan warns.<\/p>\n

Butlers POS+ Logic has proven that partnering with an experienced and committed service provider can radically transform their clients\u2019 businesses and positively impact teams and individuals by relieving them of stress and helping them to proactively create solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe allows the brand owners the freedom to spend their time and creativity on developing their brand potential to its fullest, whilst we take care of the brand kinetics,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n

Another key differentiator and arguably one of their biggest value propositions to clients is Butlers POS+ Logic\u2019s commitment to continuous leadership development within the realms of personal transformation and the development of the authentic and personalized brand. They have already invested more than 200 hours in leadership coaching and development focused on improving the emotional intelligence of their customer\u2019s key decision-makers.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s successes speak for themselves and prove that their approach works: emotional intelligence factors have improved by up to 77%; anxiety experienced in the workplace was reduced by 25%; 82% of the leaders we have worked with, showed a significant reduction in work-related stressors.<\/p>\n

Expands Johan: \u201cWe have also heavily invested in developing our own technology and artificial intelligence (AI) called ZOLAH\"\u2122\" – an app and online portal that allows our customers access the online Butlers POS+ Logic Marketing Material Supply Chain Management Realm. This technology is the first of its kind in the world and allows us to focus on areas of our customers\u2019 businesses that are often overlooked\u201d.<\/p>\n

Operational savings achieved for clients are equally impressive: 30% overall saving thanks to real-time stock ageing reporting which enabled one client to eliminate unused POS via distribution through different channels or scrapping\/recycling; wastage and overspending on point of sale promotional material is reduced from 19% to 4% through Live Campaign Exception Reporting; 25% overall savings in warehousing cost and 94% improvement in POS promotional material velocity into store universe thanks to live-visibility of stock; reduced inertia\/drag into the market from up to 45 days to less than 7 through reminder communication, live reporting and overall improved efficiencies; improved delivery efficiency to 99% and simultaneously reduced packaging spend from more than 25% to under 10% of distribution through continuous R&D and consultation with client regarding packaging materials used.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you achieve results such as these and receive reports from clients that you have literally transformed their business, you know you are onto something that is changing the market forever!\u201d Johan concludes.<\/p>\n
