Shipsy will showcase how businesses in Saudi Arabia are leveraging its platform to reduce carbon emissions by shrinking distance travelled per package, making miles greener and optimizing logistics costs.
Saudi Arabia remains a crucial market for Shipsy. The region accounts for over 40% of logistical activity in the Middle East, North Africa, and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). However, due to the current supply chain challenges, there’s a growing need for businesses to embrace mission-critical logistics solutions.
The market in Saudi Arabia is expected to grow by 23.85% annually to reach $17.5 billion in 2022. This growth in the eCommerce sector will significantly intensify logistics activities in KSA, especially in the last mile, resulting in growing trip volumes and miles traveled per package. Hence, increasing the carbon footprint of delivery activities.
Embracing a smart logistics management platform can efficiently address this concern. Such a platform can easily prioritize greener means of executing deliveries, like EVs and bicycles. Its advanced route planning and optimizing capabilities significantly reduce miles traveled per package and boost delivery productivity. It also enhances the accuracy of customer location and improves communication between rider and consumer to reduce fuel consumption by increasing first-attempt delivery success. By accurately identifying “non-delivery reasons,” it drastically mitigates return-to-origin events, further reducing miles travelled and emissions.
A smart logistics management platform empowers businesses to eliminate RTO instances by 18%, boost deliveries per rider by 14%, shrink last-mile delivery costs by 14%, reduce customer complaints by 28%, curb distance travelled by 5%, boost vehicle capacity utilization by 31% and decrease trip volumes by 6%.
