Naqla launched Egypt’s first trucking platform to the market in 2016, bringing simple and seamless technology to the logistics industry. A platform created by a vision of innovation, serving a 13 billion dollar industry’s need to fulfill travel along the supply chain, increasing supply chain visibility, and modernization to an industry once regarded as stagnant. Naqla brings an offering to the industry to ensure all your trucking needs are simplified, and a commitment to continue disrupting the market.
At its core, Naqla’s platform connects shippers and drivers to complete an optimized, transparent and efficient transaction. The effects this platform has created ripples throughout the community in an incredibly larger scale.
Naqla’s higher truck utilization, competitive prices and continued expansion of services means increased job opportunities and creation of livelihood. In just a few years of operation, Naqla’s trucking fleet includes 13+ truck types and over 10K+ licensed drivers and with continuous growth will continue to create more job opportunities in Egypt’s market currently comprised of 1.5 million+ licensed drivers. The competitive prices given to clients and businesses ensures supply chain continuity as the economy continues to recover from a global pandemic, and creates business continuity for both the drivers and the platform.
Naqla’s secured and fully insured shipments means safety for the vehicle and the cargo it holds. Insurance requirement provides a two-fold benefit: i) the driver’s vehicle and source of livelihood is protected and ii) the cargo, essential the business, and its value is shielded against any extenuating circumstances or force majeure that could occur. Unexplored avenues of insuring better working conditions for truck drivers is an area that Naqla is committed to further exploring and expanding alongside and additional to current vehicle and cargo insurance.
Naqla’s facilitated payments and financing opportunities means avoiding payment leakages, increasing transparency and allowing flexibility while maintaining business continuity. The trucking platform allows management of the service provided and eliminates the need for intermediaries that often reduce carrier’s income by an average 18% and ensures timely payment. This timeliness is a crucial factor in ensuring truckers ability to manage overhead costs and maintain a safe and desirable working environment. NAQLA Store has now provided another avenue to facilitate supportive payment plans to alleviate the financial burden for automotive items including tires, batteries and spare parts and continues to expand into further offerings.
Naqla’s corporate social responsibility is to all its stakeholders. Operating with consideration for the environment, clients, drivers, and the community, optimized efficient routes ensure that each trip is completed with efficient usage of fuel, and an ability for drivers to complete trips with safe conditions. Naqla has also been a prominent sponsor of community development. They have facilitated several football tournaments in cities with a high population density of drivers, allowing a safe and enjoyable space for drivers’ children to play, compete and encourage more participation in sports activities. The football tournament raised awareness about the logistics industry and the need for further positive investment to its stakeholders. Further sponsorship plans are due on the horizon, ready to make an impact on our community.
Naqla’s continued innovation means this is only the beginning, we’ve leverage technology but have more to offer. Naqla is not only a trucking company, we are a prominent stakeholder of the community. Our commitment is to our clients, to our drivers, to our industry, to our economy and to a community of all of you.
