Aramex's new automated parcel lockers

Aramex plans new innovative parcel locker system in Dubai

DUBAI, November 25, 2015

Aramex, a leading global provider of comprehensive logistics and transportation solutions, has plans to launch private, automated parcel lockers for e-commerce and express shipments across Dubai, UAE.

Following Aramex’s recent joint venture with InPost, among the world’s largest parcel lockers network, the company is currently creating a network of automated parcel locker systems in major locations and communities across Dubai including Arabian Ranches, The Meadows, The Greens, Gold and Diamond Park, Tecom, Mirdif and Dubai Marina among others, said a statement from the company.

These locker systems will later be rolled out nationwide and to all major cities and locations across the Middle East and North Africa (Mena), supporting the development of the rapidly growing global e-commerce and express delivery industry, it said.

Through these innovative, automated self-service terminals, e-tailers will be able to send goods ordered online direct to parcel lockers, while customers will be able to collect their e-shopping and other parcels at preselected terminals at a time most convenient for them, it added.

Hussein Hachem, CEO of Aramex, said: “We are excited about deploying our innovative locker scheme across Dubai. We’re proud to be able to celebrate the UAE’s Innovation Week by highlighting one of our own innovative initiatives underway, which is effectively helping drive our business forward and furthering Dubai’s vision to become a smart city.”

Hussein Wehbe, general manager of Aramex in UAE, said: “Looking at the growth rates of our e-commerce and express businesses, we believe this is the right time to introduce this new service.”

“Customers across Dubai will avail the most convenient and quick access to their packages, being able to pick up parcels at a time and place of their choice,” he said.

“This initiative is an example of how we continually develop and execute optimal last-mile delivery solutions, and we are confident that this service will be very popular amongst our clients and will play a key role in the continued growth of our business in the region,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
