It's 09:00 on Saturday, 1 August 2020, which means one thing - welcome to Progenix and the launch giveaways we're running (details below)!

When the company I worked for closed down in May it left a massive gap in the market, which I plan to fill. Started with R 400 in my pocket, a month and a bit of working up to 18 hours per day (my longest week was 107 hours), it is now time to launch. This same hard work and dedication will be channeled into offering customers the best experience possible. Although we've been operational, we have not had the hard launch until now.

There is still work to be done, such as theming and AJAX filters, but time didn't allow and the site is fully functional as it stands. Our prices and stock levels are pulled hourly (during office hours) from suppliers, so they're always up to date.

Stock is constantly being added to the site (I've been back at it since before sunrise this morning), but if there's something you want that isn't listed, drop us a mail at sales@progenix.co.za and we will see if it's available and list it right away.

Anything with a price of R 999,999 and marked out of stock has just been added, and the price/availability will automatically adjust within an hour.

Why use Progenix?
  • Customer satisfaction is our priority
  • Geographically close to suppliers. This means we can get most of our stock same day
  • You're not just a number. We care about you and your needs as an individual
  • Low overheads. This means we can give you the best pricing possible. Any savings we make are passed to you as a customer.
  • Only the best components are offered. We try to limit our stock to components that carry a minimum 12 month warranty, which is the industry standard. Any less and we feel the manufacturer doesn't have faith in their own product.
  • We support those in need. A portion of profits is donated to charity. This month we're donating to Reach for a Dream.

Very exciting times, there's a big void in the market for retailers that look after customers and @Oj0 is the perfect person to take on that challenge.

Nice, hopefully better after sales service than evetech? Oh wait my dog has better after sales service than evetech lol
 
Lovely stuff @Oj0 , the Progenix site looks awesome... I love how easy it is to navigate and filter through products...
I trust more products will be added as they become available from your suppliers...
Will card payments be accepted any time soon..?

Thanks dude! The filters are going to get even better soon ;)

Products are added constantly, I'm aiming for a minimum of ten per day (doesn't sound like much, but that's 240/month), but I also don't want to add things that nobody will ever take a second glance at. Eg I don't need 20 different brands of 1.8m HDMI cable.

Card, it's unlikely - my margins are tiny, so payment gateways will take around 88%. The merchant agreements specifically state that you can't charge more for card payments, so while some companies are getting away with exactly that I'll be avoiding any disallowed/grey areas.
 
What's the current methods of payment?
 
Is there any info on MSI B550 boards coming in? I'm liking the B550-A Pro as the B550 new "B450 Tomahawk" option (the actual B550 Tomahawk has definitely gone up a tier too steep). Not seeing it anywhere in SA, and Amazon listings say available only in September.

Also if you have info on stock of the Ryzen 3300X, and maybe GSkill RAM in the future (only place to get it seems to be Wootware nowadays)?

Thanks for any info you might have :)
 
Great job @Oj0
Site looks awesome,All the best moving forward mate.
Edit
Loving the overclock option lol.

Cannot recommend Progenix and @Oj0 more highly! He helped me this week while getting his site ready for launch, absolute legend of a guy.
 
Done - thanks for the comp, and another local retailer is always a plus!

Looks great, I'm officially commenting done lol... if prices keep on in the same trend they are currently and service turns out to be as good as I'm hoping you will have one VERY loyal customer here 😉
