Asyad Express, logistics service provider for the Asyad Group, signed an agreement with Vodafone Oman for the provision of end-to-end fulfilment and express delivery services.
Managed from its new state-of-the-art fulfilment centre, this is the latest partnership for Asyad Express as it continues to position itself as a regional fulfilment and distribution hub for e-commerce and integrated logistics services.
Nasser bin Ahmed Al Sharji, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Oman Post and Asyad Express, said, “As our business accelerates, we continue to evolve to drive the growth and modernisation of the logistics sector in the Sultanate. Our new partnership with Vodafone Oman will allow us to maximise this growth, and deliver a great service for our customers. It is among a rising number of businesses who are showing their confidence and trust in our unique services and capabilities as we contribute to the streamlining of eCommerce across the country.”
Lujaina Saif Al Kharusi, Head of Regulatory & Corporate Affairs at Vodafone, said, “Fulfilment services are growing in popularity and offer many advantages that make them a cost-effective choice. Especially as we are just entering the market in Oman, we are glad to draw on Asyad Express’ experience and established network. The partnership will enable us to streamline our entire delivery process, and ultimately offer our distributors and customers a more improved service.”
Located on Sultan Qaboos Highway in Muscat, the state-of-the-art fulfilment centre is part of the 3,000 m2 Asyad Express hub and offers a comprehensive service that includes the storage of products, the pick, pack and dispatch of online orders for last-mile domestic and international delivery, and the handling of returns. Near Muscat International Airport, the facility is equipped to serve local and international retailers of all sizes, offering them an easier, quicker and more efficient way to do business.
