RIYADH, 13 hours, 10 minutes ago
OmniLlama, a specialist in smart parcel lockers, plans to introduce battery-powered lockers, expand into other GCC markets, and launch a mobile app.
Besides, the company is continuously expanding its partner network and collaborating with leading industry players to deliver high-quality services.
OmniLlama is currently in a phase of impressive growth and development. The effectiveness of the parcel locker delivery system was demonstrated in a pilot project in Riyadh, where a single courier successfully delivered 300 shipments in under 7 hours using the parcel lockers. This achievement underscores the potential of OmniLlama’s technology to revolutionise logistics, a release said.
The rapidly growing and fast-developing parcel locker network enhances delivery efficiency, reduces emissions, and promotes economic growth. Its strategy revolves around four key pillars: expanding the locker network, implementing cutting-edge technologies, offering customer-centric solutions, and prioritising sustainability.
A diverse network and strategic partnerships
OmniLlama has built a strong network with over 40 partners, including major players such as Aramex, Ajex, iMile, AyMakan, SMB Express. The company has also expanded its presence through significant aggregators like Salla, Zid, Torod and OTO as well as fulfillment centres such as OmniFul, Diggipacks, and Tasl.
OmniLlama has deployed lockers at more than 20 types of locations, from busy city centres to remote areas, bridging logistical gaps and boosting foot traffic for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
The company also engages in industry events to attract new partners. At the “6th Saudi Supply Chain and Logistics Conference 2024”, held from December 15 to 16, 2024, OmniLlama announced its partnership with SMB Express to enhance e-commerce delivery services for SMEs, strengthening its rapidly growing network.
The importance of parcel lockers for sustainability
Parcel lockers play a vital role in optimising logistics for both businesses and consumers. They reduce failed delivery attempts, streamline courier routes, and ease traffic congestion. Hybrid and solar-powered lockers contribute to sustainability, providing an eco-friendly solution to modern logistics. All these solutions support the environmental goals of Vision 2030.
A bold vision for the future
CEO Ahmad Abaza, with over 15 years of logistics experience in GCC countries, shared OmniLlama’s ambitious future plans. A logistics industry expert, he predicts that at least 30% of all Saudi shipments will be processed through parcel lockers within the next 5 years.
OmniLlama has ambitious plans to support both private customers and businesses, with a strong commitment to contributing to the achievement of Vision 2030's goals.
