This latest collaboration exemplifies the shared innovative spirit of both companies
7X, the holding group in trade, transport, and logistics managing key entities within its portfolio including EMX and Emirates Post, and Amazon UAE have announced a strategic partnership.
Through this partnership, Amazon will leverage the Dark Stores of 7X’s logistics arm, EMX, as hyperlocal quick delivery fulfilment hubs to support faster delivery of high-demand products by Amazon’s customers, according to a press release.
Positioning select inventory closer to customers across various neighbourhoods, will enhance Amazon’s delivery speed and bring frequently purchased products closer to customers while reducing traffic congestion, and supporting sustainable urban development goals. This will accelerate last-mile delivery while reducing driving distances and traffic density challenges on major roads.
Leveraging network
“This strategic collaboration with Amazon leverages our extensive network through our subsidiaries to enable seamless scaling, faster fulfilment, and smarter delivery solutions. As the partnership evolves, we look forward to exploring additional ways to support customer convenience, operational efficiency, and contribute to the UAE’s digital economy and sustainability ambitions,” explained Tariq Al Wahedi, Group Chief Executive Officer, 7X.
“7X has been our long-standing valued partner since Amazon’s launch in the UAE, and this latest collaboration exemplifies our shared innovative spirit. We prioritize integrated urban planning, and ensure that, as we grow, we continue to serve the UAE’s national agenda,” commented Ronaldo Mouchawar, Vice President, Amazon Middle East, Africa, and Turkey.
As the partnership develops, both companies will continue to assess how best to scale and refine this model in support of customer convenience, operational efficiency, and long-term transformation.
