ShipBlu, an Egyptian eCommerce Shipping experience platform has recently announced a partnership with location technology company what3words, innovative development for logistics in Egypt. United in a mission to improve both merchant and shopper experiences, the partnership enables shoppers to provide their what3words address in English or Arabic at checkout through the ShipBlu integration.
This improves addressing the accuracy and eliminates the requirement for phone calls with requests for addresses and โnearby landmarksโ to ensure deliveries find their way to clients swifter and more efficiently, wherever they may be.
ShipBlu added that furthermore, by utilizing the what3words addressing system, ShipBlu can curb the total daily travel time for couriers, thereby curbing the vehicle emissions and aiding in improving traffic conditions across Egypt, in line with ShipBluโs goal to become Egyptโs greenest logistics platform.
Ali Nasser, CEO, and Co-Founder of ShipBlu stated: โOur mission is to leverage technology to provide the most reliable and enjoyable shipping experience in the market, one that both shoppers and merchants can look forward to. Our partnership with what3words allows us to do so while leading the way to more efficient and environmentally-conscious operations. I am confident that other providers will see the value in our approach, and together we can really launch this technology across the entire logistics industry in Egypt.โ
Chris Sheldrick, Co-founder, and CEO of what3words stated โWe are making strides on our mission to change the way people communicate location, helping individuals and businesses improve the efficiency of everyday tasks using what3words addresses. ShipBlu brings an innovative approach to tackling Egyptโs logistics challenges which will improve the customer experience and help drive what3words adoption in the country.โ
