Reportedly, Aramex has included what3words into its retail application programming interface (API) platform as part of the firm’s plans to enhance the efficiency of its last mile delivery.
The merger will allow the local e-commerce businesses to offer their customers with option to have their packages delivered accurately to any of the what3words addresses throughout the region.
Not to mention, it is easy for retailers to add a what3words address field to checkout pages, permitting it to be carried on to the couriers of Aramex.
As per credible sources, the integration supports regional SMEs who are seeking to enhance customer experiences and promise efficient and accurate deliveries.
