The MEA Smart Cities market is expected to double by this year, with the UAE as one of the frontrunners in the race to achieve Smart City status by meeting the goals outlined in the Dubai 2040 Plan and the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030.
Shipsy, a global smart logistics management platform provider, is helping the country achieve its Smart City and sustainability goals with its AI-driven smart logistics management solutions.
At a time when the UAE is poised to become a key driver of global trade, with an annual export growth rate of 6%, Shipsy’s technological innovations will be critical in enabling the government here to balance social, environmental, and financial progress.
The Dubai Supreme Council of Energy updated its plans to reduce carbon emissions by 30% by 2030 in February of this year. This was a significant step toward assisting the UAE’s efforts to achieve net-zero ambitions by 2050. The region’s supply chain and logistics sectors will be critical in assisting governments in meeting this goal.
“A major goal the UAE wants to achieve by building smart cities is to further improve the livelihood of the country’s local communities. One important aspect of this objective will be democratizing the availability of products, goods, and services in the fastest and the most efficient way possible — an area that depends on robust logistics operations. Shipsy is helping businesses leverage AI, Machine Learning, IoT, Predictive Intelligence, Automation, Big Data Analytics, Blockchain, and more to build resilient supply chain networks capable of responding to demand-supply fluctuations and absorbing unprecedented disruptions,” says Soham Chokshi, CEO and Co-Founder Shipsy.
With increased demand for faster online deliveries, increased cross-border eCommerce activity, and shrinking margins, businesses in the region face logistics challenges that, when addressed with the right technology, can be transformed into novel opportunities.
Shipsy is also among the key associate sponsors for Seamless Middle East 2022. The company will leverage this opportunity to showcase its technology and highlight how it’s helping UAE achieve its Smart City goals, improve logistics operations, and drive logistics and business sustainability.
“Shipsy is empowering businesses across the globe to expedite their logistics sustainability goals. It’s curbing distance traveled by 5% and reducing trip volumes by 6%. It ensures 14% more deliveries per driver and drastically reduces failure rates by improving address accuracy,” added Chokshi.
At Seamless 2022, Shipsy will exhibit how 170+ customers across the globe are using its platform to cost-efficiently scale deliveries, provide engaging and transparent delivery experiences, optimize cross-border logistics operations, mitigate transportation risks and achieve more.
Seamless Middle East 2022 will be a two-day event, 31st May to 1st June, held in Dubai World Trade Center. The event will witness 10,000+ attendees, 350+ exhibitors, and 300+ speakers.
