YallaHub, a leading “quick-commerce as a service” (QAAS) platform, has partnered with drinks producer Lapochka to add artificial intelligence to its product development and aid plans for UAE expansion. The partnership will utilize YallaHub’s full suite of services, including fulfillment, logistics, payment gateway integration, customer support, and last-mile delivery.

Lapochka recently hit the headlines after launching a groundbreaking AI-generated lemonade. The company’s beverage makers used a neural network to analyze consumer preferences, sales data, and reviews to craft the perfect soft drink recipe. The resulting concoction sticks to the brand’s commitment to natural ingredients and features an eye-catching “robot apple” design concept.

“We are constantly seeking methods to surprise and delight our customers with unique and innovative products,” explained Lapochka CEO Anton Balyklov. “This AI-created beverage allows us to introduce consumers of all ages to the latest technologies in a fun and delicious way. Partnering with YallaHub empowers us to potentially expand our reach and share this exciting innovation with a wider audience in the MENA region”.

The partnership between YallaHub and Lapochka aims to push the boundaries of the beverage industry. With a strong focus on natural ingredients and refreshing taste, the new AI-designed beverage should also be a perfect fit for the booming UAE drinks market — projected to hit $23.2 billion in value by 2025.

By combining Lapochka’s new-found expertise in AI-driven product development with YallaHub’s established MENA presence, the collaboration could potentially revolutionize consumer experience across the region. By the end of 2024, Lapochka plans to establish itself in several major UAE marketplaces, hoping to achieve sales of over 100,000 cans per year.

Global tech company Yango is debuting its AI-driven warehouse robotics and pick-and-place solutions at the Seamless Middle East event, which is currently running in Dubai (May 14-16). The technologies aim to combat the rising fulfillment costs that are burdening the e-commerce, retail, logistics, and manufacturing sectors.

In e-commerce, fulfillment now represents one-third of all operating expenses. Global giant Amazon saw fulfillment costs rise from 31% of net sales in 2021 to 36% in 2023. Yango’s solutions could provide a much-needed remedy to these escalating figures.

At Seamless Middle East, attendees can experience live demonstrations of Yango’s robotic pick-and-place hardware. This technology leverages “advanced computer vision” to allow stationary robots to perform like human operatives while still managing to move 800 items per hour.

Yango has also introduced stock-taking, goods, and pallet-moving solutions to streamline inventory management and fulfillment. The company’s robots can autonomously navigate warehouses and work together with other machinery to get tasks done faster and more accurately.

Alexei Filippov, Head of Global Business Development at Yango Robotics, said: “As fulfillment costs continue to rise, our warehouse robotics solutions come at a crucial time to help businesses not just survive but thrive. Our new robotics pick-and-place platform, mobile warehouse robotics solutions, and other technologies show Yango’s commitment to innovation and efficiency [and] we’re excited to debut [them] at Seamless Middle East”.

Yango is also showcasing further technologies at the exhibition, including autonomous delivery robots and the AI-powered White Label App and AI Shelf Monitoring System for retail applications.
