About First Distribution

At First Distribution, we are extremely selective in our choice of trading partners. As a result, the company has established a first-class track record for stable, consistent product and service supply.

Much of this success is based on unfailing insistence to support only major brands in select product categories, resulting in excellent relationships with vendors.

 






Our vision is to be recognised as the first choice value added distributor of leading global brands, providing complex ICT solutions to the Enterprise and SME markets, focused around the Data Centre, Virtualisation, Hosted Applications and Cloud Based Services, Database and Middleware, Security and Network Infrastructure, backed up by unparalled expertise.
 

  • First Distribution has a national distribution infrastructure, with offices in Cape Town, Gauteng, Kwazulu Natal, Port Elizabeth and Bloemfontein, and a solid record for the supply of Server, Infrastructure and related products in South Africa. Delivery to other areas is carried out through appointed courier service partners.

  • First Distribution has technically competent sales staff in Cape Town, Gauteng, Kwazulu Natal, Port Elizabeth and Bloemfontein, who are highly trained on the Brands that First Distribution offers. Our sales staff is complemented by a team of technical staff who work with, and configure, products on a daily basis. The company has a staging facility that, amongst other things, fulfils server configurations, software imaging and preloading on Desktops and Notebooks.

  • “Helping Our Customers to Help Their Customers” is our motto. We strive to achieve this goal by building close relationships with our Business Partners, assisting them in relationship building with vendors to achieve great pricing and product delivery for their customers. We provide product training and skills transfer for our customers to ensure that they become self-sufficient on an on-going basis.

  • At First Distribution, we manage our stock holding according to current industry & project requirements, thus enabling immediate delivery to our Business Partners for well-planned forecast rollouts.

  • First Distribution has a multi-cultural staff profile aimed at empowering and transferring skills to previously disadvantaged sectors of the population, enabling them to achieve their potential without prejudice or hindrance.

  • First Distribution has been recognised by IBM South Africa as the leader in IBM distribution in this country. We are very proud to have received the Distributor of the Year Award for nine consecutive years.
 

 
We look forward to being of service to your company and staff and developing a successful and mutually beneficial relationship.
