Herminio runs a tuck shop business in Maputo. Every week he crosses the border to Nelspruit with a trailer and buys large bags of “Nax” chips and other snacks to sell in Mozambique.

Weekly, he spends R115 000 on snacks and buys from a Nelspruit wholesaler – which means that he is paying R15 000 on VAT, which he doesn’t get back.

If he had used GRINDLAY EXPORT CORPORATION – he would’ve saved R5000 and received a VAT FREE invoice because he submitted his border crossing documents (SAD500) and (CN1/2).

Herminio is now more competitive and business is booming!

Bruce lives in Botswana. For years, Bruce has ordered mixes and ingredients for his bakery from a supplier in Johannesburg.

One day this supplier does not deliver. When Bruce does not hear from the supplier as usual, he calls them, to find out they don’t have stock! He doesn’t get his normal delivery and his bakery runs at 50% capacity due to raw material shortages.

After another week without stock, he is forced to shut down temporarily and send all staff on forced (paid) leave – losing even more money and rent for a business that can’t produce!

If Bruce was smart, he would’ve called GRINDLAY EXPORT CORPORTATION. They would’ve advised him that they had many suppliers who could assist and created an order for him from one of their tried and trusted suppliers – preventing downtime due to lack of ingredients.

Bruce would have saved thousands of Pula.

Anees runs a wholesale business in Botswana. Anees buys many products from many different suppliers in South Africa.

Every week he has to send a transporter to pick up at many different locations, which costs him extra money AND results in chaos when one of the suppliers runs late with a delivery.

He is so busy that he realizes his health is suffering. He is always stressed and this is affecting his entire quality of life.

He needs to employ someone just to handle his orders.

Anees called GRINDLAY EXPORTS instead – and now picks up all his stock at one warehouse and on one invoice  – so he doesn’t have to employ that extra administrator!

Imraan runs a large food factory in Maputo, which makes everything from baked goods and “Nax” puffs, to Pasta. He is well known as one of the largest brands in the country and is extremely successful. Many people know his name, calling to ask for advice on building their own business and inviting him to business sponsored events. Some businesses even want to sponsor him personal goods so that they can get their product seen!

Because he is so successful, his main competitor, who is losing market share, starts to pay for information from customs officials at the border.

They find out everything from the price Imraan is declaring at the border, to who is supplying him – and how often.

They call Imraan’s suppliers and negotiate with them for better deals and more products.

Within a year, Imraan has lost 30% of his market share and his profit has collapsed due to constant overheads coupled with reduced sales. His sponsors are now approaching his opposition for deals instead of him!

If Imraan had switched his business to GRINDLAY EXPORT CORPORTATION, the only details available to customs agents would have been those of GRINDLAY EXPORT’s.

When Grindlay received the call from Imraan’s opposition to ask for better pricing – they would have informed Imraan, he would have taken quick action – and saved his businesses profitability and market share.

Moffat runs a Spaza Shop in Malawi . He buys chips and biscuits and washing powder from South Africa.

Every month he buys 30 packets of chips, 50 packs of biscuits and 10 packs of washing powder from shops in Johannesburg.

Running his business is challenging, and thus he is battling to beat the other Spaza shops on price. He isn’t growing and basically just making enough to pay his regular bills.

He decides to call GRINDLAY EXPORT CORPORATION, who buys these products for many different countries, therefore in large volumes.

Now Moffat gets the same price as someone who buys 1000 packs of chips per month!

Business starts to increase quickly.

For the first time in a long time, he has extra money to take his wife on holiday. He is proud to do this, and she is so excited she cannot sleep!
