Dubai - Mubasher: Dubai-based Aramex has launched 'Aramex SMART' platform, offering an innovative and comprehensive delivery, payment, and returns solution to e-tailers.

Aramex is the world's first logistics and transportation company to offer such an all-in-one stack solution, seeking to promote online shopping and stimulate the growth of the e-commerce industry in the region, according to a press release on Monday.

The platform enables the world's e-tailers, selling to shoppers in Aramex's main markets, to have access to fast deliveries and easy returns as well as make payments within a 14-day period after the delivery of their shipments.

The CEO of Aramex, Bashar Obeid, said: "With ‘Aramex SMART’ we aim to support businesses that wish to grow their online sales channels, and improve the online shoppers’ overall experience, especially during the current unprecedented challenges brought by COVID-19." 

At the same time, Aramex’s Corporate Treasurer and Head of Aramex SMART, Arun Singh, remarked: "Through our extensive market research, we identified a need for a full suite solution that will address disparities between an increased consumer preference for cash-on-delivery shipments in spite of limited digital payment options offered by e-commerce players."
