British transport technology and telematics company Microlise has appointed Emirates Logistics to distribute its technology and services in the Middle East.

Members of senior management from both Microlise and Emirates Logistics marked the partnership with a meeting.

Microlise delivers services such as vehicle tracking, fleet performance analysis, journey management and proof of delivery and the deal will see Emirates Logistics sell Microlise products – covering vans, buses and HGVs – and managing and carrying out vehicle installation in the region, as well as operating its own logistics services.

Gomes Gorakanage, transport manager, fleet logistics at Emirates Logistics, said: “We see the technology Microlise is developing as vital for 21st century logistics operators and see enormous potential. We look forward to making it more readily available in the region and developing a prosperous partnership with Microlise as official distributors.”
