FarEye, a carrier-agnostic SaaS platform, is targeting the multi-billion dollar GCC e-commerce market. The company is expecting to fulfil about 30% of its revenue from the region. With its new technology designed for shipment companies for freight visibility, FarEye’s predictive technology integrates with IoT and ELD devices, and supports enterprises by reducing significant costs in logistics. The technology helps shippers (retailers and manufacturers) predict when their freight will arrive at its destination by analysing location data from trucking companies, weather and traffic information, as well as information about wait times at warehouses.
With high levels of disposable income, internet and smartphone penetration, e-commerce is transforming the retail landscape in the GCC region. Customer convenience and logistics are at the heart of the industry and define the runway for the organisations in the region. FarEye supports businesses with optimising and simplifying the movement of goods – to ensure that they reach the end-customer with speed and efficiency. The market for ecommerce is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 30% from US$ 5 billion in 2015 to US$ 20 billion by the end of 2020. *
