From a first trial shipment in 2016 to a platform that builds projects
Ten years between Chinese factories and Gulf markets taught us one lesson: importing doesn't need another middleman — it needs one party accountable from the factory gate to your customer's door, and honest numbers that don't change on arrival. This is Dr.Ship's story, from the first carton to a full platform.
Before selling the service, we lived it: importing for small companies to understand the trade from the inside — where time is lost, where cost leaks, and what actually deserves to be built.
The experiment matured into a service: merging multiple customers' goods into shared sea containers and regular air shipments — one final price, factory gate to customer door.
We began supplying government entities — procurement run to a higher standard of documentation and rigour, and it raised every standard we had.
The world stopped and demand for medical and consumable supplies surged. We played a real part in keeping supply chains open for Kuwait and the Gulf — through the hardest period global freight has known, the goods arrived.
We grew through social channels and the customer base grew with us — and so did the internal systems that run every shipment and every quotation.
We focused where our value is highest: supplying machinery and complete production lines to factories, and recurring consumables to projects — procurement management first, freight as its completing link.
We built Dr.Ship's AI-powered system — running conversations, procurement and quotations. Everything learned in ten years now works inside every quote we send.
To build the first Arab platform bringing factories, traders and Arab governments together in one place.
To be the first destination for procurement management and for building consumer and industrial projects across the Arab world — for small, medium and large companies — powered by data collected over years of real quoting, and AI systems we build and operate ourselves.
