The Warehousing and Distribution division is responsible for the delivery of short and long term storage and distribution solutions for dry and finished goods for both domestic and export markets including provision of distribution services for Inter-State, Intra-State and Metropolitan deliveries, container packing and freight-forwarding services for export.

The Portavin SA facility has 3200m2 of fully-racked storage facilities attached to bottling hall (providing for approx. 3 000 pallets of dry goods and finished wine goods) PLUS an additional 8 500m2 of contracted warehousing at the Kerry Logistics site, adjacent to Portavin (this site is primarily used for export product storage and provides additional storage for up to 8 500 pallets of wine). All warehousing facilities are fully insulated and temperature controlled.

Portavin SA provides a fully integrated export logistics service including container packing and freight-forwarding services.

For all client finished goods stored within the Portavin/Kerry warehouses, clients are able to log onto a secure website and access the on-line E-Services where all inventory is tracked using bar code license plates.

Clients are able to view progress of dispatch orders and the status of inventory (dry goods & finished goods) on-line at all times. All requests for receiving, picking and dispatching orders are done via the internet & client email notifications of order placed, order picked & dispatched are managed by our Distribution team.

In addition, the warehousing division supports the Bottling and Packaging Operations through the assembly of required dry goods and the reconciliation of post-bottling surplus raw materials.
