Qatar Mobility Innovations Center (QMIC) yesterday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Qatar Postal Services Company (Q-Post) for cooperation in local delivery services. The MOU was signed at QMIC’s booth at the QITCOM exhibition.  This new partnership establishes framework for these two  entities to work jointly in using QMIC’s newly developed delivery platform branded as Tasleem (means delivery in Arabic) in order to support on-demand local delivery services in Qatar and beyond.

As part of the agreement, both parties have agreed to pilot Tasleem in next few months as a stand-alone local delivery platform to pave the way for a potential large scale launch at a later stage.

Q-Post and QMIC will collaborate to further evolve QMIC’s Tasleem platform to tackle different use cases and address different deployment scenarios to ensure it is fully tailored to meet the needs and growing demands of local and regional markets.

On this occasion, Faleh Mohammed Al-Naemi, Chairman and Managing Director of Q-Post said: “QPost is embarking on a major digital transformation initiative to broaden the set and enhance the quality of services we deliver to our customers. "

Dr Adnan Abu Dayya, Executive Director and CEO of QMIC said “ We are pleased to work with Q-Post to start piloting this platform and to evolve it to maximise its impact for all partners and to deliver value to end users.”
Tasleem is latest addition to QMIC’s expanding set of locally-built platforms and services in area of intelligent mobility. It uses the principles of sharing economy, namely crowd logistics, to offer on-demand local delivery services by efficiently matching supply and demand.
