Urban Company's Middle East arm has officially entered into a partnership with Unicommerce, one of India's leading AI-powered e-commerce enablement SaaS platforms. The collaboration is aimed at powering Urban Company's e-commerce operations across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. This move marks a significant step in Urban Company's regional expansion strategy, bringing a proven technology backbone to two of the Middle East's most active digital markets.
The partnership brings together two companies that already share an established working relationship in India, where Urban Company uses Unicommerce's technology to manage its domestic e-commerce operations. By extending this collaboration to the Middle East, Urban Company is applying a tested and familiar operational model to its newer international markets, reducing the risks that often come with setting up technology infrastructure in unfamiliar geographies.
Unicommerce's Uniware platform to manage key operations
At the heart of the partnership is Unicommerce's flagship platform, Uniware. Urban Company will use Uniware to manage its inventory and fulfilment operations across both Saudi Arabia and the UAE. These operations are directly tied to Urban Company's at-home service ecosystem, which depends on a steady and well-organised supply of service kits and consumables to keep its network of service professionals fully equipped.
Uniware is designed to give businesses a comprehensive and integrated view of their supply chain, covering everything from stock management to order delivery. For a company like Urban Company, which operates a large and distributed network of service professionals spread across two countries, having a single platform that brings together all inventory and fulfilment data is a critical operational advantage.
Real-time inventory visibility across Saudi Arabia and UAE
One of the most important benefits Urban Company will gain from this partnership is real-time visibility of its inventory across both Middle Eastern markets. The Unicommerce platform allows Urban Company to track the availability of service kits and consumables at any given moment, giving operations teams an accurate and up-to-date picture of stock levels across the region.
For a home services company, this kind of visibility is not merely a convenience. Service professionals depend on having the right supplies available when they arrive at a customer's home. Any gap in inventory visibility can lead to delays, shortages, or missed appointments, all of which directly affect the quality of service delivered to customers. By maintaining real-time inventory data through Uniware, Urban Company can reduce such operational gaps and keep its service delivery on track.
Intelligent order routing ensures timely delivery to professionals
Beyond managing inventory, the Uniware platform will also enable Urban Company to intelligently route orders for service kits and consumables to its service professionals across Saudi Arabia and the UAE. This intelligent order routing capability is built to ensure that deliveries reach the right professionals in a reliable and timely manner, regardless of where they are located within the two markets.
Service professionals carry out home service appointments on behalf of Urban Company and rely on consistent access to the correct tools and consumables to do their work effectively. Efficient and well-organised order fulfilment is therefore a foundational requirement for the business, not just an operational preference. The routing capabilities offered by Uniware are designed to address exactly this need, helping Urban Company maintain the reliability that its service professionals and customers expect.

Building a connected operations backbone for regional growth
By extending its Unicommerce collaboration to the Middle East, Urban Company is working to create a more connected and unified operations backbone as it scales across the region. Saudi Arabia and the UAE are among the most dynamic digital markets in the Middle East, characterised by high smartphone penetration, growing consumer appetite for on-demand services, and a rapidly expanding e-commerce infrastructure.
Operating across two countries with a single, unified technology platform for inventory and fulfilment management allows Urban Company to bring greater consistency and efficiency to its regional operations. Rather than building separate systems for each market, Urban Company can use the same Unicommerce platform it already relies on in India, creating a seamless operational thread that connects its home market with its international expansion. This approach also allows the company to leverage the experience and knowledge it has already gained from using Unicommerce domestically, applying those learnings to its Middle East growth story.
