FreightBro to help Dubai freight forwarders to digitise their services with NAFL MoU

June 26, 2019: FreightBro signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National Association of Freight and Logistics (NAFL), Dubai at the recently concluded Transport Logistic Fair held in Munich. The MoU will help NAFL's 400+ members to digitise their services.

The partnership will enable forwarders in the Middle East region to access import rates of China and India on the go and book shipments instantly. The platform will enable them to manage quotations, shipments, communication, and visibility on the go.

Mohammed Zakkiria A, co-founder, FreightBro said: "As the UAE market rides the wave of digitisation, this partnership comes at a perfect time as a strategic initiative to accelerate digitisation in the Middle East freight industry. For FreightBro, the association will help us expand our presence in the Middle East and work closely with the forwarders of the region. Also, it is in sync with our ongoing trade lane development and solutions for small and medium sized forwarders in India, the UAE, and China.”

Founded in October 2016, Chennai-based FreightBro provides a digital platform for freight forwarders that enables them to procure rates, reduce operational inefficiencies, boost sales and make informed decisions using data analytics. The NAFL, founded in February 1992 in Dubai, works to unite freight and logistics service providers in UAE.

Nadia Aziz, president, NAFL, stated, "FreightBro’s platform and application will surely speed up work for the forwarders, cut costs and help them grab a greater market share. It will also connect us more efficiently with top-notch Indian forwarders and traders and will create more synergy between both the countries.
