        operations, setting a new benchmark for customer experience in a rapidly evolving digital landscape”.

        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.
