7X and Urbi Sign MoU at GITEX Global to
Improve Logistics Operations
CEO Insights Asia Team | Wednesday 16 October, 2024
7X has entered into a memorandum of
understanding (MoU) with Urbi, a leading geo-
intelligence firm, to utilize Urbi's Geographic
Information System (GIS) technology for
improving logistics. The agreement, signed
at GITEX Global 2024, will see Urbi offer
technological support to 7X and its subsidiaries
to optimize their logistics operations.
The MoU, which was signed by Abdulla
Mohammed Alashram, Group CEO of 7X, and
Alexander Sysoev, Chairman of Urbi, reflects the
commitment of both entities to streamline
delivery operations and create new prospects for
technology-driven logistical solutions.
The agreement will explore integrating Urbi’s
cutting-edge mapping and geospatial
technologies into 7X’s operations, including
EMX, Emirates Post, and its other entities, as a
foundational step towards a broader initiative.
This includes the development of a comprehensive ‘Base Map’ enriched with detailed information about residential and
business listings, as well as APIs for geocoding and reverse geocoding, enabling precise customer location for accurate
deliveries. Additionally, route optimization based on URBI’s real-time data will enhance efficiency, reducing delivery times,
and operational costs.
Abdulla Mohammed Alashram said, “We are pleased to collaborate with Urbi to enhance logistics operations. At 7X, we are
committed to leveraging cutting-edge technologies to drive progress and innovation in the logistics sector, more specifically
in eCommerce. By integrating Urbi’s advanced GIS technology, we aim to improve efficiency and precision in our logistics
operations, setting a new benchmark for customer experience in a rapidly evolving digital landscape”.
Commenting on the agreement Alexander Sysoev said, "We are excited to partner with 7X as this collaboration epitomizes
the synergy between advanced geospatial technology and practical logistics solutions. By providing 7X with our state-of-
the-art geospatial data, we are not just enhancing their operational capabilities but also setting a new standard for delivery
efficiency in the region”.
GIS technologies are transforming the logistics industry by optimizing delivery routes, lowering operational costs, and
improving service reliability. In response to these changes, 7X is adopting advanced technologies and forging strategic
partnerships, such as its collaboration with Urbi, to address the shifting demands of the market.
