Supply chain
The ongoing economic crunch has hit consumer demand , softening up express parcel volumes compared to previous growth trends within the industry . This , coupled with geopolitical issues and increased operating costs , has made the past couple of years challenging coming out of the pandemic .
The industry is at a tipping point , and there is an opportunity for players in the logistics and transportation space to revamp their business and organisational models .
Digitisation and the addition of capabilities can help differentiate and sustain in these conditions . Aramex has been implementing strategies to drive productivity in its operating model , enhance the premium customer experience , and develop new products that serve as growth levers , including acquisitions and other collaborative opportunities .
There are pain points that are serving as opportunities , and that shall help drive investment into innovation and transformation , which is exciting for Aramex .
