7X, a Public Joint Stock Company headquartered in Dubai, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Urbi, a leading geo-intelligence company.
Under the partnership, 7X will leverage Urbi’s Geographic Information System (GIS) technology solutions to enhance its logistics operations. The agreement, signed during GITEX Global 2024, aims to streamline delivery operations and create new prospects for tech-driven logistical solutions.
The MoU was signed by Abdulla Mohammed Alashram, Group CEO of 7X, and Alexander Sysoev, Chairman of Urbi. Under the agreement, Urbi will provide 7X and its subsidiaries with technological support to transform their logistics operations.
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 toward 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 improve efficiency, reduce delivery times, and operational costs.
