ENOC Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with 7X, the UAE’s trade, transport, and logistics group, to establish a comprehensive framework for collaboration across e-commerce, quick commerce (q-commerce), logistics enablement, retail innovation, and transport-ready solutions.
The agreement sets out a structured approach for both entities to align their strategic priorities and explore opportunities in high-growth segments.
The deal includes potential joint ventures in convenience retail and auto parts, as well as the integration, operation, and scaling of dark store solutions to support evolving consumer demand and rapid delivery models.
A key aspect of the collaboration involves evaluating the integration of 7X’s National Network for Logistics (NXN) services into ENOC’s retail ecosystem.
This includes out-of-home Pick-Up and Drop-Off (PUDO) solutions and smart locker systems, aimed at enhancing last-mile delivery efficiency and customer convenience across the UAE.
