Why Tarsus Distribution?

Going forward, suppliers and resellers of technology equipment will only be successful if they stop focusing solely on the transactional sale and start deriving a significant amount of their revenue through solutions sold in response to customers’ needs. This means that suppliers and resellers will need to disengage from a product-driven mantra and instead engage in service-driven offerings that solve customers’ problems and get the job done.

Tarsus Distribution understands this and we know that the small to mid-market customer is the primary target for this approach. Because of the need to respond to customer demands directly, Tarsus markets its solutions stack to the end-user and the reseller simultaneously. Tarsus Technology Group is, however, a channel-centric organisation and remains committed to fulfilling all leads generated through its reseller partners.

Tarsus believes a high-touch model is required to initially deliver on this, but that as capacity and capability develop in the mid-market reseller base, the next wave of smaller resellers can be developed. Once this strategy has been brought to fruition, Tarsus sees solutions to end-customer needs being crafted by a solution hub and then implemented – and supported – by resellers, allowing every party to play to its strengths and coexist in a modern channel model.

Speed, efficiency and flexibility

As Southern Africa’s leading value-added technology distributor, Tarsus Distribution represents top tier global hardware, software and information security brands. The company has made extensive investments in providing digital tools and logistics systems that empower channel partners with the speed, efficiency, and flexibility they need to meet the needs of today’s demanding and connected customer.

Expert consulting and advice

Tarsus Distribution sets itself apart in a commoditized and competitive market by partnering with the channel to provide complete solutions to the end-client -- from consulting about the business requirement to the fulfilment of the order. In addition to an unsurpassed national logistics engine and integrated supply chain, Tarsus Distribution offers the channel technical support capabilities and tailored channel financial services. An accredited Level 1 broad-based black economic empowerment entity – Tarsus Distribution is recognised as a black-owned and black female-owned business under the Amended ICT Sector Codes.

Logistics and value-added services

Tarsus’ value to these partners is in its ability to aggregate inventory, credit, logistics and provide configuration services. A much smaller segment of the group’s partners position themselves as hybrid players in the market. This means they are focused on traditional value-added reseller activities but have also begun branching out into the provision of services and solutions based on customer needs and sold on an annuity basis.

The Tarsus Technology Group realizes that the future of the ICT industry relies on annuity streams derived through solutions sold in response to customers’ needs in a manner that’s completely abstracted from the underlying infrastructure and other specifics. The group also knows that the mid-market customer is the primary target for this approach.

Tarsus is uniquely positioned to meet the channel's needs for credit funding, stock availability and efficient logistics to ensure that partner resellers are able to deliver the best possible service, support and overall solutions to their end-user customer base at the lowest possible cost. Not only does Tarsus Distribution provide excellent service and world-class logistics, it is also committed to the development of the partner reseller community and its skills.

Market share

The Tarsus Technology Group is in the enviable position of having most of the market share when it comes to partner relationships in the SADC region. The vast majority of its partners position themselves as value-added resellers who focus on the provision of legacy type ICT solutions and services to customers in a largely transactional fashion.

Sustainability and compliance at Tarsus Distribution

Every day changes make a meaningful impact. At Tarsus Distribution, we believe that small, everyday actions create meaningful change. From recycling and refurbishment to renewable energy, we're committed to positively impacting our planet and supporting sustainable business practices.

Here's how we're leading the way in sustainability:

  • At Tarsus Distribution, sustainability is not just a practice—it’s a guiding principle that shapes how we operate. One of our cornerstone initiatives is responsible waste management. We offer e-waste recycling services to our partners and their customers, contributing to a more circular economy. Within our own operations, we manage waste through an onsite sorting and recycling plant, ensuring that recyclable materials are properly processed and kept out of landfills.
  • We also extend the lifecycle of technology through our refurbishment facility. By restoring equipment to high-quality, Certified Pre-Owned standards, we help reduce unnecessary waste and the environmental impact of manufacturing new devices. These refurbished products are made available to partners through the Tarsus Distribution Portal, offering a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to new purchases.
  • Our commitment to clean energy is evident in our facilities, which are powered entirely by solar energy. This not only reduces our reliance on non-renewable resources but also significantly cuts down our overall carbon footprint. We’ve taken additional steps to maximise energy efficiency across our buildings and operations.
  • To support this, we prioritise Energy Star® rated equipment and use low-energy lighting throughout our facilities. Electric lighting is only used when natural light isn’t sufficient, and occupancy sensors automatically switch off lights in unused areas. IT equipment is set to enter sleep or hibernate mode when idle, and outdoor lights are powered by solar energy. We’ve also switched off all geysers in kitchens and bathrooms to conserve energy further.
  • Our commitment to sustainability extends to health and wellness too. We only use biodegradable, cruelty-free cleaning products and ensure that any toxic materials are discarded responsibly, in line with environmental standards. In support of water conservation, we harvest rainwater and greywater, which is used to maintain our landscaped areas without putting pressure on municipal water supplies.

    • We comply with the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requirements as stipulated by the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE). Through our partnership, we pay a levy to E-Waste Recycling Authority (ERA) as our Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO) on behalf of our partners for all electronic devices purchased from us, thereby ensuring they are sustainably managed from production to disposal.
