Company’s FY2018 revenues register 18% increase
Aramex has launched a new, partially automated fulfillment centre in Dubai to support the rapid growth of its E-commerce business with B2B retailers.
Located in Dubai Logistics City and covering 60,000 square meters, the temperature-controlled centre is one of Aramex’s largest fulfillment warehouses across the region.
It features new technologies including a ‘Pick to Light’ system, which uses light-directed picking technology to improve accuracy and efficiency, and an automated conveyer belt system.
“Aramex’s new fulfillment center is an important investment that will help support the rapid growth of our logistics business and our retailer’s omni-channel sales strategies. The facility’s cutting-edge technology strengthens our position by ensuring fast, seamless and reliable fulfillment,” remarked Iyad Kamal, COO, Aramex.
“The centre will expand our global logistics capacity and enable us to help more start-ups and established businesses receive process and deliver orders to customers through effective supply chain management,” noted Saeed Mukhtar, Global Head of Logistics, Aramex.
In FY2018, the company’s Logistics and Supply Chain Management revenues grew by 16% to AED 302 million over corresponding FY2017 figures, due to the strong demand for Aramex’s warehousing and other value-added services across key markets.
