7X has officially introduced its National Network for Logistics (NXN) during the 28th Universal Postal Congress in Dubai. Designed as a hybrid physical-digital infrastructure, NXN brings together local and international service providers to create a seamless platform for sending, receiving and storing parcels. The initiative offers businesses, individuals and the eCommerce sector a unified experience that streamlines logistics across the UAE.
The launch reflects the nation’s vision to accelerate digital transformation and strengthen its role as a global trade and logistics hub. With over 87 branches, more than 1,000 out-of-home locations and smart lockers, NXN provides same-day and next-day delivery options along with flexible pick-up points. Customers benefit from one unified service standard across both physical and digital channels.
Strategic Vision and Partnerships
NXN operates under Waslah, a digital logistics platform aggregator, and integrates with WAYN, the UAE’s Digital P.O. Box. This combination ensures accurate addressing, trusted deliveries and enhanced eCommerce fulfilment. The network also introduces dark-store services, making logistics more efficient for SMEs and online businesses.
Tariq Al Wahedi, Group CEO of 7X, said: “Our goal is to create an open network that transforms logistics from a fragmented and expensive system to a unified, global ecosystem. NXN is the practical embodiment of this vision, it is a national platform, with quick market access and seamless integration between providers and customers offering lower costs and convenient accessibility through all its digital touchpoints and physical locations. NXN helps to reinforce the UAE’s leading position as a global logistics hub by making services easy and reliable.”
Partnerships with leading global operators such as DHL, Aramex and FedEx further enhance the platform. These collaborations enable service providers to expand reach, reduce costs and simplify operations while offering customers advanced solutions at scale.
Empowering SMEs and Driving Innovation
The network is built on four interconnected pillars: Send, enabling local and global shipping through diverse partners; Receive, offering home delivery, returns and smart locker services; Store, providing storage, dark stores and fulfilment centres; and Enable, placing SMEs at the centre by giving them access to tools once reserved for larger enterprises.
Abdulaziz Alhammadi, General Manager of NXN, said: “NXN’s launch is a strategic step towards establishing an integrated national network that will transform the UAE’s retail and logistics services. NXN is more than just a logistics network; it is a unified national platform that empowers individuals, entrepreneurs and businesses to access new avenues for global trade from the UAE. By integrating the Waslah and WAYN platforms, we translate the nation’s vision for digital transformation and zero bureaucracy into tangible reality, further driving the UAE’s momentum towards a more efficient, innovative and competitive future.”
With NXN, 7X strengthens the UAE’s logistics infrastructure, advances government digitalisation goals and sets new standards of simplicity, reliability and innovation for the region.
