7X has entered a strategic memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Urbi, a leader in geo-intelligence, to incorporate Urbi’s Geographic Information System (GIS) technology into 7X’s logistics operations. Signed at GITEX Global 2024, the agreement marks a commitment to harness cutting-edge mapping and geospatial data for optimizing delivery operations across 7X and its subsidiaries, including EMX and Emirates Post.

By integrating GIS technology, we aim to enhance precision and efficiency in our logistics operations, elevating the customer experience amid a rapidly evolving eCommerce landscape.”
