iMile forays into Egypt, partners with two eCommerce firms

Technology-driven delivery company iMile has stepped into Egypt with operations in Cairo and Suez.

Dubai-based, iMile specialises in delivering goods from eCommerce sellers in China to customers in the MENA region. iMile’s recent expansion into Egypt is part of its commitment to continue supporting efficient cross-border eCommerce across the region.

The company has partnered with two eCommerce companies Egypt so far and is working with several SMEs for door-to-door delivery. iMile is investing in a local team in Egypt, hiring exceptional local talent to ensure the best team is in place.

With the rise of online shopping in Egypt, local companies are focused on developing strategies that enhance digital trade. The growth of Egypt’s eCommerce industry has been spurred by its rising population, its increasingly affluent middle class and most notably, by consumers’ readiness to trial new retail options, a phenomenon accelerated by the COVID-19 crisis.

These factors enable iMile to help improve overall delivery experience for eCommerce customers by providing logistics and customer services for companies in Egypt. iMile is confident that Egypt will remain a key market for the business going forward.

iMile CEO, Rita Huang, said: “We have solid plans for what we want to achieve in 2021 and our launch into Egypt plays a big part into this. We aim to continue growing at rapid pace into next year and will invest in our technology and our people to ensure we are ahead of the curve.”
