DHL Express MENA seals partnership deal with Fodel

DHL Express Mena, a leading international express and logistics service provider, said it has joined hands with Fodel, the first pick-up and drop-off (Pudo) parcel network in the GCC with more than 200 active locations across UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain. Fodel, through an advanced Pudo technology platform, signs up and manages local merchants from across the region as alternative pick-up locations to home delivery. It connects eCommerce and logistics companies with local merchants, allowing for online customers to pick up their parcels from their preferred local stores, ranging from coffee shops to supermarkets and retail stores, at their convenience. With this deal, DHL has taken further steps to boost its last mile delivery solutions by enabling customers with more ease, convenience and control over pick-up and drop-off of their eCommerce parcels, said the statement from the company. DHL's customers will benefit from these delivery points by choosing them as pick-up options for their shipments. The Fodel tieup consolidates last-mile logistics and provides a more convenient delivery solution for DHL Mena customers that is faster and more cost-effective. There are currently more than 200 active Pudo locations across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain while Oman will follow by the end of March
