Seven sense for excellence: Geek+ adds MEA debut wins to Five European SCEA titles. Geek+, a global AMR leader, is proud to announce two new award wins that mark a significant milestone in its growing presence across the Middle East and Africa. First, Geek+ is proud to have won the Retail Supply Chain Excellence Award at the Supply Chain Excellence Awards MEA, together with Takealot Fulfilment Services (TFS), the logistics arm behind takealot.com, South Africa's largest e-commerce platform, and local integration partner European Conveyors, for its robotic sorting solution. Additionally, Geek+ is proud to have won the Best Use of Robotics Award together with Starlinks in Saudi Arabia, too. These latest wins mark its sixth and seventh Supply Chain Excellence recognitions across different regions and categories, further cementing its track record of delivering measurable results through intelligent warehouse automation. Two Wins, Two Stories The Retail Supply Chain Excellence Award: Takealot, European Conveyors, and Geek+ Takealot Fulfilment Services (TFS), the logistics arm behind takealot.com, delivers 1 in 5 parcels across South Africa. When they restructured their distribution network to handle surging volumes and growing SKU complexity, their large-item DC in Johannesburg quickly became a bottleneck. Manual sorting couldn't keep up. Traditional conveyor solutions weren't built for large, varied parcel formats. And with the launch of TakealotMore, a subscription service for free delivery on items like fridges and furniture, demand was only going to increase. What set this project apart from the start was Takealot's ambition. Automation was not positioned as a short-term capacity fix, but as a strategic priority and a scalable blueprint for their entire future fulfilment network. And they were willing to be bold about it. "We got to a point where we said, if we want to do it, we need to do it now. We had strict timelines to get the system in before peak season - anything else would have affected our throughput. Without Geek+ and European Conveyors coming to the party and really driving it with us, it would not have been the success that it was." - Gerdus Visagie, Head of Supply Chain Strategy and Infrastructure, Takealot "It's been a long journey for our business with Geek+ in sub-Saharan Africa, and Takealot gave us the opportunity to make it happen. Together, we put significant effort into understanding how to apply this new technology - and being the first to deploy it at this scale in sub-Saharan Africa, with Geek+ as our technology partner, was a remarkable achievement." - Andy Cooper, Managing Director, European Conveyors South Africa The Best Use of Robotics Award: Starlinks and Geek+ Its second win was earned alongside Starlinks, a leading supply chain solutions business providing high-quality end-to-end fulfilment management and operations across Saudi Arabia and the GCC. Facing surging fulfilment demand driven by fast-growing e-commerce volumes, Starlinks deployed a fully integrated Geek+ RoboShuttle8 system at their Riyadh distribution centre, combining flexible Tote-to-Person automation with high-density vertical storage and an advanced sorting solution. The results speak for themselves: up to 3x picking speed compared to manual operations, up to 4x increase in storage density, and nearly 2 percentage points improvement in picking accuracy. A combined fleet of 39 RoboShuttle8, 126 P40, and 90 S20C robots now operates seamlessly across the facility, delivering the agility and scalability required to support same-day delivery and peak-season demand. "Our DBOT model means we own the full lifecycle, from design to operation, ensuring that automation isn't just deployed, but truly embedded into our customers' success stories. This partnership with Geek+ shows how we combine operational expertise with best-in-class technology to deliver sustainable, scalable performance gains." - Makrem Kadachi, Managing Director of Solutions and UAE, Starlinks Why Retail in EMEA Cannot Afford to Stand Still Retail and e-commerce across EMEA are under more pressure than ever. Rising consumer expectations, faster delivery demands, labour shortages, and growing SKU complexity are straining fulfilment networks that were not built for this pace of change. For many retailers, scaling throughput by adding headcount is no longer viable. The operations that will lead the market tomorrow are the ones being built for flexibility, resilience, and scalability today. This is why automation is becoming a strategic priority across the region. The TFS project reflects exactly that shift: South Africa's largest e-commerce platform did not automate because it had to. It automated because it understood that building a flexible, scalable fulfilment operation now is what creates competitive advantage later. Geek+ Across MEA These wins are part of a broader Geek+ commitment to the Middle East and Africa, where Geek+ is actively partnering with leading operators to bring intelligent automation to new markets. Across the region, Geek+ is actively partnering with leading operators to bring intelligent automation to new markets. In Morocco, Geek+ is supporting the expansion of modern fulfilment infrastructure on the African continent. And in the United Arab Emirates, its partnership with Hellmann is helping one of the world's leading freight and logistics companies optimise their warehouse performance. Each project adds to a growing body of evidence: AMR technology is not a future ambition for MEA logistics. It is happening now. A Growing Track Record and More to Come Five European Supply Chain Excellence Awards. A sixth and seventh recognition across MEA and Saudi Arabia. Also adding 2 more in the US region. And its teams are already preparing entries for the Supply Chain Excellence Awards UK, where Geek+ will bring the same commitment to results-driven automation to one of the world's most competitive logistics markets. For Geek+, awards matter not as trophies, but as independent validation. When expert panels recognise a project for excellence, it confirms what its customers already know: that the right technology, the right partner, and the right execution create outcomes that genuinely transform operations. Geek+ is proud of what Geek+ built with Takealot, European Conveyors, and Starlinks. And Geek+ is just getting started in MEA. Ready to See What Geek+ Can Do for Your Operation?
