Dubai Trade, the single window for cross-border trade and smart trading solutions, has announced the launch of its LogiGate platform aimed at enhancing its online services for business in the emirate.

 

The new launch comes following the widespread success of Dubai Trade's Tradeshield smart platform for cargo insurance, as well as the Rosoom e-Payment gateway. 

 

LogiGate provides users with two smart services “LogiGate Transport” and “LogiGate Warehousing” to manage land transportation and warehousing bookings, accessible both online and on iOS and Android mobile phones.

 

The new services will benefit Dubai’s trade and logistics sector by providing speed and accuracy in logistics and supply chain management, allowing existing users to enhance profitability and grow their operations, said a statement from Dubai Trade, .

 

Dubai Trade has designed the interface of the app to be simple to use on smart phones, in line with the Smart Dubai initiative to transform Dubai into a smart city with seamless and technologically accessible services. LogiGate can also be easily accessed online at www.logiGate.ae.

 

Dubai Trade said the app also offers a virtual market that enables carriers to source cargo and land transportation services with ease.

 

Cargo owners can select the best rates from several registered transportation companies, tracking their shipment using GPS in addition to processing their payments online through Dubai Trade’s secured e-Payment gateway “Rosoom”. Other benefits for transporters include securing revenues through an online payment feature, receiving real-time notifications for new job opportunities and biding for jobs to maximize profits, it stated.

 

LogiGate will also soon roll out a smart service connecting warehouse owners and warehousing service providers with customers seeking storage space for their cargo, allowing them to book online or through the mobile app,. said a top official. 

 

Both “LogiGate Transport” and “LogiGate Warehousing” help customers fill idle capacities and enhance operational efficiency.

It also supports the UAE’s economic capabilities in line with the country’s National Agenda and the UAE Vision 2021 that aim to enhance the country’s economy."
