Details relating to RAM’s Information Technology Platform and the Value Added Solutions that we offer to our clients are available on request.

RAM’s CSD Web Based Portal

RAM’s CSD Web Based portal was developed and is being rolled out. The portal will provide a number of added benefits and all collections will be logged through it. Clients will be able to access the portal via the web, get quotes, request a collection and even obtain online invoices. The portal will also link to the hand held devices and eliminate miscommunication between the hub staff and the couriers. Optimisation efficiencies between the RAM hubs and their collection achievements are facilitated by the portal.

FICA / RICA

These services include the delivery of credit cards, which requires compliance by the courier with regulations enacted in terms of the Financial Intelligence Centre Act, 2001, including the collection and return to the client of Identity Documents and Proof of Residence (“FICA” and “POR”). RAM also complies with all the requirements regarding the delivery of cellular communication equipment, where the courier must fulfill the regulations enacted in terms of the Regulation of Interception of Communications and Provision of Communication-Related Information Act, including the collection and return to the client of Identity Documents and Proof of Residence (“RICA” and “POR”). Face to Face deliveries are also offered on the basis that the RAM is only entitled to deliver to the specified Consignee against receipt of signature and proof of identity.

Retail Documentation & Reverse Logistics

Over the past 12 years, RAM has become a preferred value and general transporter in the retail sector. We have developed long-term relationships with some of South Africa’s most prestigious companies, delivering cellular phones, IT Equipment, credit cards, secure mail, inter branch transfers, marketing material and other valuable, vulnerable and non-valuable cargo safely and securely.


The delivery on behalf of certain retailers and major chains requires specialised distribution and specialised documentation, such as Goods Received Vouchers. Accordingly, RAM has geared itself for and specialises in the distribution and the reverse logistics by major retailers of their valuable, vulnerable and general goods, documentation and marketing material. In addition, RAM operates Mail Rooms on behalf of a number of its clients.

Warehousing

Certain services on behalf of clients may require warehousing. RAM has now purchased an additional warehouse adjacent to RAM’s Isando Hub. We provide world class Pick and Pack facilities on the premises, specially designed for items with a higher price tag per piece

History

The RAM Group of Companies was established as a family business in 1988. The company was initially formed to service imports and exports for the diamond and jewellery industries, but has since grown substantially to include a wide range of services.


Family members still have their hands firmly on the wheel and are personally involved in the day to day management of the company.

Our Service Policy

In order to meet the high standards of service we demand of ourselves, RAM employs the most up-to-date technology, hires and rigorously trains carefully selected staff, and uses an extensive, dedicated national infrastructure to ensure your parcel gets the priority treatment it deserves.

 

Whether we're transporting documents, phones or pharmaceuticals, credit cards or computers, arms or ammunition, our credo remains the same: treat every delivery as if it were our first and only delivery.
