iMileSmart last-mile delivery for e-commerce across emerging markets

iMile is the logistics backbone most UAE consumers have never heard of but almost certainly have used. Backed by ByteDance and serving Noon and Shein, iMile handles last-mile delivery that e-commerce marketplaces depend on but prefer not to build themselves.

The ByteDance backing signals alignment with TikTok Shop's potential MENA entry, providing an enormous volume anchor. Last-mile margins are thin, driver management is complex, and platform customers have significant leverage. iMile's scale advantage requires continuous capital investment to maintain.
