DoKaSch Temperature Solutions, a leading provider of temperature-controlled logistics solutions, is pleased to announce the opening of its new depot in United Arab Emirates. This strategic move strengthens the company’s presence in the Middle East and enhances its global network.

The new depot is in Dubai close to Dubai-World Central Airport, strategically placed due to its extensive global connections and immediate access to the networks of major Middle East carriers such as Emirates, operating a hub in Dubai, and Etihad, with a hub in nearby Abu Dhabi. This expansion aligns seamlessly with DoKaSch Temperature Solutions’ growth strategy, expanding global supply chain for pharmaceutical products.

“The establishment of our new station in Dubai is a significant milestone in our growth trajectory and highlights our commitment to enhancing our global network,” stated Andreas Seitz, Managing Director at DoKaSch Temperature Solutions. “Dubai and Abu Dhabi are established hubs, and our new station will play an important role in the global supply chain for pharmaceutical products.”

The pharmaceutical industry in the Middle East has experienced remarkable growth, with the UAE’s pharma market expected to reach a value of 4.7 billion US-Dollars by 2025, according to ADQ, an Abu Dhabi-based investment and holding company. With the opening of the Dubai depot, DoKaSch Temperature Solutions strengthens its foothold in the region and globally, ensuring expedited access to the Opticooler®, its high-quality and reliable temperature-controlled packaging solution.

Moreover, the Dubai depot holds strategic importance as a gateway to the Indian subcontinent, a key market for the production of pharmaceuticals, biosimilars, and biotech products. This expansion will increase the company’s ability to serve the growing demands of the pharmaceutical industry in the Middle East and neighbouring regions.

With the new Dubai depot, DoKaSch Temperature Solutions’ is expanding their free deliver global network offering the Opticooler®. This container maintains a consistent internal temperature, even amidst extreme external fluctuations ranging from -30° to +50°C. This feature is particularly crucial for the Dubai market and the surrounding region, given the consistently dry climate throughout the year, with average temperatures ranging between 27 and 45 degrees.

Shypple has launched the first digital forwarder platform for perishables. With this platform, Shypple addresses the specific needs of shippers of perishables. It offers a fast, reliable and efficient solution for products where flexible and fast shipping is a necessity. The platform will be live in Q2 2022 and available to Shypple users.

In the perishables market, freight forwarding relies heavily on Excel spreadsheets, emails, phone calls and other error-prone methods of managing the supply chain. Because of the overcrowded container market, where increasing delays cause a lot of uncertainty, fast and efficient transport can be challenging. This is especially true in the perishables industry, where items with a short shelf life need to be transported as quickly as possible to stay fresh.

Shypple has added extra features to meet the needs of perishable shippers. While many solutions rely on the GPS data from container ships, Shypple implements “near real-time” terminal data on its platform, including the most up-to-date schedule. As a result, shippers know exactly when their cargo will be unloaded. They can use this information to organise the rest of the supply chain, for example, by scheduling trucks immediately after unloading.

The Shypple platform gives users all their transport activities in one clear overview. As a result, all teams, from the department store to the sales department, are provided with the most up-to-date freight information, allowing organisations to respond immediately.

“The traditional logistics for perishables is undergoing a true transformation. These innovations are needed to get perishables from one side of the world to the other as quickly as possible,” said Jarell Habets, CEO and founder of Shypple. “We are proud to launch the world’s first ‘perishable’ platform. The platform provides great insight and convenience, making it an essential asset for getting cooled products from A to B quickly.”
