Retail & Fashion

DC to store, on shelf — the right stock, the right day.

Retail freight is a rhythm business — stock flows supplier to DC to store in a continuous cycle, judged on one thing: is the product on the shelf when the customer wants it? Wyvern runs the replenishment loop with the consistency retail lives on, for the supermarket groups, clothing retailers and FMCG distributors across Zimbabwe. Select a category to see what we move and the trailers we move it on.

Packaged groceries, FMCG, household goods and dry goods — palletised and run on fixed replenishment loops so the shelf never empties.

Service, timing & handling

Service & timing

  • Scheduled replenishment loops — fixed, repeatable DC-to-store runs timed to store trading hours and replenishment cycles, so stock lands before the shelf runs dry
  • Multi-drop efficiency — optimised urban routing for multiple store deliveries per run, cutting cost per drop
  • Peak-season scaling — festive, back-to-school and campaign surges met with capacity planned and held in advance
  • Border-time management — pre-cleared documentation at Beitbridge to keep imported stock and seasonal drops on schedule
  • Backhaul efficiency — pairing inbound stock with outbound returns and empties on the same route to cut empty running

Handling & security

  • Fashion on the hanger — hanging-garment rails keep apparel crease-free and floor-ready, no in-store pressing
  • Cold chain integrity — temperature-controlled trailers and continuous logging for fresh, dairy, meat and frozen
  • High-value security — GPS tracking and tamper seals on electronics and premium goods; secure box vans for the highest-value loads
  • Reverse logistics — unsold stock, returnable crates, hangers and packaging collected on the backhaul
