Logistics & Supply Chain Transformation
Move goods faster. Track everything. Control costs.
Egypt's logistics sector is growing rapidly—driven by e-commerce expansion, industrial zone development, and Suez Canal corridor investment. But growth without operational discipline creates chaos: fleet utilization below 60%, warehouse inventory with no location tracking, and procurement costs that erode thin margins. Rabt Group's logistics practice delivers the systems, processes, and workforce that turn operational complexity into competitive advantage.

The Logistics Complexity Challenge
Fleet & Asset Management:
- No real-time visibility into vehicle location, status, or utilization
- Maintenance reactive rather than preventive, causing breakdowns and delivery failures
- Driver scheduling and compliance (hours, routes, documentation) managed manually
Warehouse Inefficiency:
- Inventory stored without location tracking—finding items takes 15–30 minutes
- Receiving and dispatch processes paper-based, causing errors and delays
- No integration between warehouse management and transport planning
Cost Erosion:
- Fuel costs unmonitored per route, per vehicle, per driver
- Procurement fragmented across suppliers with no volume leverage
- Customer billing delayed by manual proof-of-delivery reconciliation
Technology Gaps:
- No unified system connecting sales, warehouse, transport, and finance
- Customer tracking limited to phone inquiries with no self-service portal
- Compliance documentation (customs, insurance, safety) scattered and audit-unready
Workforce:
- Driver shortage with no structured recruitment or retention
- Warehouse staff turnover disrupting operational consistency
- No training on safety, equipment operation, or system use
