RTT Consumer Health
BUSINESS UPDATE: DECEMBER 2011
The transformation of SCS to RTT Consumer Health has been a process of evolution, as our upgraded services and capacities fall into place. The result is a company that offers our clients state-of-the-art flexibility, enhanced business systems, a dynamic young management team and a fully customised and integrated end-to-end logistics solution.

Launch of RTT Consumer Health

Launched on 1 September 2011, RTT Consumer Health adds value to the original SCS service offerings through a specialised focus on fast moving consumer health products, new technology, and tailored systems and processes. We are now the only company in the FMCG service arena offering both bulk and fine pick distribution from a single stock holding point to hard retail outlets as well as the pharmacies, hospitals and doctors. Backed by RTT's 30 years of experience, our multi-channel capacity ensures that clients and consignees of any size can be accommodated.

GSK Partners with RTT Consumer Health

RTT Consumer Health is delighted to welcome GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) as a principal client. GSK's decision to join us is a significant endorsement of our capacity to deliver business success for the major players in the consumer health sector.

Capacity
RTT Consumer Health delivers over 3,000 tons - 75,000 cases - per month to 6,000 customers nationwide via our stockholding points in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, using a fleet of more than 1,000 vehicles. Our warehouse space is MCC registered and fully compliant with storage regulations for health care products, with a storage capacity of 42,000 pallet bays.

RTT Runs SAP

Our investment in SAP, the market and technology leader in data processing, adds considerable value to our services. SAP offers an international and pharma-validated warehouse management solution that provides our clients with added benefits, including easy integration with your own systems, full integrity for your data, full lot traceability, easy ISO compliance and enhanced stock management and stock recall.

Flexible Solutions

RTT Consumer Health offers both fine pick and bulk distribution, from eaches and shrinks, to boxes and pallets. We deliver to hard retail as well as doctors, pharmacies and hospitals.

We manage the hard retail back door requirements and point of delivery constraints.

Our delivery schedules are aligned with consignee requirements based on set nominated delivery days and nominated ordering days. Thus we can align your orders with specific delivery dates and times, ensuring less handling, less risk and maximising in-fill rates.

We offer value added services for the customisation and localisation of your products. For instance, we do onsite rework on secondary packaging, such as banding products for special offers, allowing for your faster entry into market. We also localise products onsite, such as inserting localised product information leaflets into secondary packaging.

Above all, we are flexible and agile, allowing for a customer-centric service where we build a differentiated solution that meets your needs.
