We're specifically looking for somebody who:
- Organised & Detail-Oriented: You notice when something’s a millimetre out of place. You’re proficient with MS Office (especially Excel) and love diving into data to find solutions.

What We Do
Wootware.co.za is an online retailer of computer hardware and software geared towards enthusiast computing. It is based in Somerset West, Cape Town in the Western Cape, South Africa. We currently offer delivery only within South African borders via door-to-door courier services such as Dawn Wing (a division of DPD Laser), FastWay and FedEx.
Wootware was founded in 2007. Our plan was simple: let's make it easy for people to buy PC parts online, affordably with delivery to their door. Retail stores had sky-high pricing, were poorly stocked and were slow to bring in the latest technology. And thus the dream (Wootware) was born.
Fast forward a few years (and a lot of blood, sweat and tears) and that dream became a reality. What started out in a garage now occupies a factory, delivering nationwide via door-to-door courier at the best pricing around.
