FORTNA has been selected by RAM Hand-to-Hand Couriers, one of South Africa’s Courier, Express and Parcel (CEP) industry providers, to automate its new distribution centre in Isando, Kempton Park, Johannesburg.
The new facility will serve both as a central hub for RAM’s network and as a last mile depot for local deliveries, streamlining transportation flows and enhancing overall efficiency. As parcel volumes rise and customer expectations for speed and flexibility continue to grow, the new sorting center will enable RAM to scale effectively while enhancing operational performance and adaptability.
Leveraging FORTNA’s deep expertise in parcel sortation and automation, the solution integrates global best practices with local market knowledge, an approach designed to align closely with RAM’s business goals.
The custom-engineered solution is fully optimized for RAM’s building footprint and operational requirements, featuring end-to-end automation, real-time track-and-trace visibility, and seamless management of inbound and outbound flows. Designed with scalability in mind, the solution allows for future capacity expansion as RAM’s network continues to evolve.
“FORTNA is excited to support RAM as they take this important step forward in their growth journey,” said Thomas van Workum, President at FORTNA International. “Designed for performance and scalability, this new distribution centre will strengthen their position as a trusted name in time-critical delivery. It also reflects FORTNA’s ongoing commitment to providing end-to-end automation solutions that evolve with our customers’ ambitions.”
“At RAM, our promise has always been simple: fast, reliable, hand-to-hand delivery,” said Graeme Lazarus, RAM’s Managing Director. “By partnering with FORTNA to automate our new Isando distribution centre, we are enhancing that promise. This facility allows us to handle growing volumes with greater agility while ensuring accuracy, visibility, and service excellence for every customer from A-to-B, seamlessly.”
This collaboration builds on FORTNA’s mission to redefine warehouse and parcel automation across global markets, combining cutting-edge technology with proven design expertise to drive long-term value for customers.
