Empost, the leading express courier, cargo and logistics company in the UAE and the Mideast region, has launched a state-of-the-art navigation system covering its fleet of delivery cars and motor-cycles.

The company said the move is part of its on-going programme to further improve operational efficiency with the aim of providing an even better service to its customers.

Sultan Al Midfa, CEO, Empost, said: 'With the courier, logistics and cargo sector booming in the UAE, Empost has moved into a high growth phase. As Empost is committed to providing quality and value-added services to all our customers, we are continuously upgrading systems and introducing innovative features.

'The launch of the hi-tech navigation system is a step towards revamping the infrastructure and facilities at Empost, and reaffirms our unique capability of offering quick distribution solutions.

'Empost accredits its consistent growth to transforming challenges into primary strengths; such milestones include a list of services such as Ezimail, Total Mail Management, Heavies Express Service, Bulk Distribution, EMX International, Track and Trace, and a stream of other services.

'As a local courier company we are always benchmarked by our innovation and refinement of services in this highly competitive market.'

Fadel Attalla, the head of Fleet Section, said: 'This is a trial phase; we applied this hi-tech navigation system on 100 cars and 60 motor-cycles, which is planned to be implemented exclusively for this service.

'Our future plan calls for applying the navigation system to the complete fleet comprising 600 cars, as this move will upgrade the efficiency of our transport system and hence, will cater to all the future demands and requirements.' - TradeArabia News Service
