UAE-based tech-enabled freight forwarding and logistics provider offering end-to-end supply chain solutions across air, sea, and land. Over 180,000 shipments managed, 900+ B2B clients served, and $1.65B+ cargo handled since founding in January 2023.
**Tech-Enabled Logistics Platform** A fast-growing, tech-enabled logistics platform based in the UAE, offering integrated freight brokerage, warehousing, fulfillment, and last-mile delivery services powered by proprietary logistics technology that automates and optimises shipping processes across local and international markets. Founded with the vision to digitise traditional freight management, the company has developed a scalable infrastructure that delivers consistent service excellence, significant cost savings for clients, and recurring, high-margin revenue. **Core Service Lines:** 1. **Air Freight** — Airport-to-airport and door-to-door air cargo services with consolidation options. Serves global destinations through partnerships with major carriers. Includes express courier services. 2. **Sea Freight** — Full Container Load (FCL), Less than Container Load (LCL), Break Bulk, Roll-On/Roll-Off, and Reefer (temperature-controlled) shipping. Handles oversized cargo, construction equipment, vehicles, oil & gas machinery, and dangerous goods. 3. **Road Freight** — Cross-country and intermodal transportation, including refrigerated trucking (reefer) for temperature-sensitive cargo. Handles consumer goods, industrial goods, automobiles, pharmaceuticals, retail merchandise, high-value cargo, and perishables. 4. **Customs Clearance** — Full customs brokerage including project cargo clearance, import/export tax planning, tariff classification, duty drawback, and compliance support. 5. **Warehousing** — Cross-docking, reverse logistics, retail distribution, and secure storage with 24/7 surveillance and controlled access. 6. **Defence Logistics** — 3PL and 4PL services for government/defence departments, including heavy-lift freight management, storage, transportation, and inventory management for remote and hostile regions. 7. **Relocation Services** — Domestic and international relocation with packing/unpacking, storage, and door-to-door delivery. 8. **Dangerous Goods Shipping** — Certified transport of hazardous materials with full regulatory compliance (IATA, IMDG, ADR). **Pricing Model:** Commission-based brokerage on freight shipments plus service fees for customs clearance, warehousing, and specialised logistics. Asset-light model — the business coordinates shipments through partner carriers rather than owning transport assets, keeping overhead low while scaling rapidly. **Key Stats:** 900+ active B2B clients (200+ recurring), 180,000+ successful shipments, $1.65B+ cargo shipped, 12+ years of team industry experience.
**Client Base:** 900+ active B2B clients, including 200+ recurring customers across retail, baby products, defence/government, healthcare/pharmaceuticals, e-commerce, construction, and high-value goods (art, electronics). The business serves both domestic UAE and international markets, with shipments reaching destinations as far as Afghanistan and South Africa. **Client Retention:** Long-term partnerships are a core focus — the company positions itself as a relationship-driven logistics partner rather than a transactional shipper, with dedicated account managers assigned to key clients. 200+ recurring B2B customers provide a stable revenue base. **Revenue Concentration:** Revenue is diversified across multiple service lines (air, sea, road freight, customs clearance, warehousing, defence logistics, relocation, dangerous goods) and multiple industries, reducing concentration risk. **Market Position:** Dubai-based freight brokerage operating as a strategic intermediary between shippers and major global carriers. The UAE logistics market is one of the fastest-growing globally, driven by the country's position as a trade hub between Asia, Europe, and Africa. **Market Trends:** The GCC logistics market is projected to grow at ~6-7% CAGR through 2030, supported by infrastructure investment, e-commerce expansion, and Dubai's continued role as a regional trade hub. **Ideal Buyer Profile:** - Strategic logistics players seeking to modernise or digitise their operations - Private equity / venture investors focused on logistics, fulfillment, or e-commerce enablement - International freight networks seeking MENA market access and existing infrastructure
**Team:** 20 employees across operations, sales, accounting, logistics coordination, fleet management, digital marketing, and business development. The leadership team includes a CEO, General Manager, Senior Accountant, Business Development Manager, Relocation Manager, Sales Team Manager, Digital Marketing Manager, Project Manager, Operations Manager, and several logistics coordinators and support staff. **Ownership Involvement:** Minimal — systems and leadership team are in place. The founding owner serves as CEO and is involved in strategic direction and key client relationships, but day-to-day operations are managed by the General Manager and Operations Manager, enabling a semi-absentee ownership structure. **Key Partners / Suppliers:** Strategic carrier partnerships with major global logistics providers for air, sea, and road freight. These partnerships provide preferential rates and global reach without the overhead of owning transport assets. **Technology:** In-house digital freight platform that automates quoting, booking, and shipment tracking. Real-time cargo tracking capabilities and an online quotation system. The proprietary logistics technology is a key differentiator, enabling scalable operations and cost efficiencies. **Operating Hours:** Standard business hours, with 24/7 support available for shipment tracking and urgent logistics needs. **Regulatory Readiness:** Significant experience in handling dangerous goods (DG), pharmaceuticals, and defence shipments with full regulatory compliance (IATA, IMDG, ADR).
