Aramex brings in real-time scanners

Posted by | Jan 22, 2007 | |

Dubai-based express firm Aramex has introduced a real-time scanner system which it says will be deployed in its operations worldwide by the end of this year.

The USD 1.5 million system of wireless, handheld scanners is designed to update clients with delivery and collection details from ground couriers on the move, and has already been deployed throughout the Gulf region, Jordan and Lebanon.

“Banks are especially pleased with the advantages of this new system,” said Iyad Kamal, Aramex’s vice-president for logistics & ground services.

“Providing banks with instantaneous delivery updates of their invoices and credit card deliveries enhances efficiency of their operations,” he added.

Aramex, listed on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM: ARMX), employs over 5500 people in 240 offices and offers services worldwide through a network of alliances.

The company said it would upgrade its ground services equipment – to use the latest in advanced technology – following recommendations from a forum of 50 of its operational managers in Amman, Jordan, in December.

Interview – Aramex aims to be world's number 5 express operator

Posted by | Oct 9, 2006 | |

Aramex, the Middle East-based independent express company, aims to grow into the world’s fifth-largest express operator through selective acquisitions and by expanding its partner network, a senior executive told CEP-Research.

Although the “Big Four” – DHL, FedEx, UPS and TNT – were clearly “in the premier league”, Aramex wanted to head the “second division” of regional players, Adrian Horsley, Vice-President Express Services, said on the sidelines of last week’s Asia Pacific Mail & Express 2006 conference in Singapore.

The Jordan-based and Dubai-listed company expects its 2006 revenues to grow to US$330 million from USD232 million in 2005, largely due to acquisitions of smaller freight companies in the Middle East and Europe over the last year, Horsley said. In 2005, it generated about 55% of revenues from international and domestic express transport, and about 33% from freight forwarding. The company, whose key markets are the Middle East and India, has some 260 offices in 45 countries in total.

“Our mission is to be recognized as the fifth-largest global distribution player by 2008. With the Global Distribution Alliance, Aramex has a true global international express distribution system that is 95% managed and controlled by us,” Horsley declared.
