now
Pros

Live dashboard with real-time shipment tracking for merchants and end customers
Native integrations with Shopify, WooCommerce, Salla, and Zid reduce manual setup

Cons
Service area is currently limited to Cairo and Giza, so it is not usable for merchants shipping nationwide or internationally
Exact shipping rates are not published; merchants must contact sales to get pricing
Still in soft launch, so the platform and track record are relatively new and unproven at scale
No visible self-serve signup flow noted on the site; onboarding appears to require direct contact
