5x reduction in operational costs using apps to optimize warehouse operations
230% growth in the retention of mobile users
In a nutshell

Aramex was seeking a technology partner to help them build a digital ecosystem for managing all of their digital assets in one centralized location.

The company partnered with ELEKS to design and implement a solution, which involved delivery of a set of consumer-facing and operational apps in tandem.

After implementing ELEKS’ solution, Aramex was able to automate workflows, gain new insights from its data, and enhance visibility and efficiency through its entire operational and business ecosystem.

Objectives
01
Transformation

Aramex has a long-standing reputation as innovators in their space, and is committed to using digital technology to transform operations in a way that enables growth and differentiates from its competitors.

Expertise

While Aramex had a strategic vision for many of the projects in their roadmap, they were having delays with getting projects off the ground, particularly as many of them required a deep level of expertise in data science, UX design, business analysis, and R&D.

Partnership

Aramex realized that they could partner with a best-in-class agency with deep expertise and subject-matter knowledge across many technologies to support strategic design and ideation for all of their use cases.

After evaluating a number of agencies, Aramex selected ELEKS as their technology partner. Aramex found that, out of the vendors they’d considered, ELEKS offered the best value proposition, with a culture of innovation and a team of engineers with deep expertise across mobile UX, data science, and R&D.

Solution
02

ELEKS quickly built a team to support Aramex’s end-to-end product development needs from ideation through to implementation. We engaged specialists in business analysis, product design, software architecture, data science, software development, quality assurance, and implementation to manage each element of the projects’ needs.

We delivered a range of digital products, including:
Aramex website

Our team developed an optimized UX and improved the performance of the company’s site, aramex.com, using the ASP.net framework and PHP scripting language. Our team helped the company deliver localized experiences that are optimized for the visitor’s region and device, leading to recognition through Sitefinity’s Site of Quarter Q1 2017 Award.

Aramex Internal Systems

ELEKS has worked to develop internal-facing applications that support the company’s operations and improve visibility for decision-making, including solutions for integrated logistics, capacity planning, international and domestic express delivery, and freight forwarding.

Reach Mobile

We custom-built a mobile app that empowers Aramex’ entire sales team to share opportunities and map out priorities, helping them gain efficiency and close more sales deals.

Aramex Mobile

Our customer-facing app, Aramex Mobile, gives end customers the ability to get real-time updates into their delivery status and manage their delivery experience using their mobile devices.

Shop and Ship

We helped Aramex get the technology in place to launch its flagship program, Shop & Ship, which makes it easy for shoppers to take advantage of international shipping programs in Aramex’ 33 shipping destinations. Hundreds of thousands of shoppers have signed on to the brand’s Shop and Ship program, creating significantrevenue for the brand.

Product development approach

Before moving into product development, our team completed a comprehensive product design process involving numerous research and user interviews with four onsite visits to the Aramex office in Amman. ELEKS experts took a collaborative approach to the projects, bringing their own insights and ideas to the table, making it easy for Aramex to move with agility through the product development process.

Big Data storage optimization

We enabled Aramex to migrate a portion of their IT infrastructure to the cloud, and created a proof of concept of a Big Data warehouse (DWH) in Azure Cloud, where the company could store their historical shipment data. After migrating their on-premises DWH to the cloud and integrating it with their operational systems, they’re able to access regular data updates for higher visibility across their entire app ecosystem. We also supported them with migrating and updating several data analytics models to predict demand, transit time, and consignee locations.

Our solutions have enabled Aramex to integrate their entire business, with a full suite of applications that help them plan resourcing, manage inventory, track sales behavior, empower customer self-service, and more.
