Multiple award-winning Esquire Technologies is one of the leading technology companies in southern Africa for IT, Digital Lifestyle, Consumer Electronics, and Mobility products from international vendors around the world. We have over 35 years of industry-leading expertise and have built up an unrivalled reputation for lasting partnerships and exceptional performance in delivering best-in-class end-to-end solutions for Small to Medium Business (SMB) reseller partners (regardless of their size) who support the technology needs of the end-user, including businesses, educational institutions, government agencies, and consumer markets.

Adding value and continuously developing the distribution services is the cornerstone of the business, which currently serves a base of over 25,000 active reseller partners and over 500 Online Stores across the southern African region. Key to Esquire's continued success with its SMB reseller partners is the supply chain management system called the 'Virtual Warehouse', offering a streamlined approach to inventory management and order fulfilment by eliminating resellers' storage problems while still offering them bulk-buy savings. This results in improved responsiveness to reseller partners' needs in rapidly changing market conditions.

Esquire focuses on keeping its range of products relevant and contemporary by continuously monitoring international technology markets for the best-of-breed global brands and latest global trends. With representation in the Far East, USA, UK, and EU countries, the product range is constantly evolving with the growth and evolution of technology.

Esquire is the first South African distributor to introduce three exceptional concepts to ensure continuous ordering and a positive shopping experience for its reseller partners across the southern African region:

The first is a custom-designed Online Ordering System to ensure that resellers can successfully place orders while on the road, at a customer's office, or even after-hours from almost anywhere in the world where there is access to broadband or internet connectivity. The Online ordering system integrates with Esquire's back-end stock control inventory system, ensuring the availability of stock in real-time in all the branches.

The second innovation was the introduction of the retail-type 'Xpress Store' that provides a more exciting visual purchasing experience. The latter also offers reseller partners the convenience of improved efficiencies by expediting the sales cycle and reducing queuing time to purchase products. The Xpress Store concept has also become a marketing tool where reseller partners with shop fronts in shopping centres and shopping malls can get ideas on how to market the products in their own stores.

Thirdly, as Esquire Technologies continues to strive to be a leader in innovative business practices, it has developed the world's first custom-tailored supply chain management system, the 'Virtual Reseller Network' (VRN), which is ideally suited to meet the priorities and distribution requirements of the online e-commerce, Business-to-Business (B2B), and Business-to-Consumer (B2C) markets. With the VRN, resellers have virtual access to the entire Esquire stockholding, which is updated directly to the reseller's website at regular intervals - often as frequently as every three minutes. Each reseller, however, retains complete autonomy and is allowed to set his own pricing on products, and even change or customize descriptions and product pictures. The VRN empowers the reseller to compete head-on with larger retail stores, including multinationals and franchise stores.

To be the most admired and dynamic Black-Empowerment distribution company and the distributor of choice in southern Africa, operating on global principles to deliver the best-of-breed products while continuing to develop the business to be at the forefront of the rapidly expanding marketplace for the benefit of all stakeholders.

We recognize that the best way to respond to the expectations of all of our stakeholders is through sustainable steady growth, continuous innovation, and above all, with honesty and integrity.
