Starlinks

What Starlinks does

Starlinks is a Saudi Arabia-headquartered end-to-end supply chain and logistics company that operates across the Kingdom and the broader GCC, providing 3PL/4PL services, eCommerce fulfillment, automotive logistics, freight forwarding across 161 countries, cold-chain management, and relocation services. The company is organized around four solution areas — eCommerce Solutions, B2B Logistics Solutions, Automotive Logistics, and Freight & Transportation — plus a Solutions Division that designs and operates smart warehouses with robotics and automation. Customers include Amazon, Hilti, LG, Decathlon, The Hut Group, Emirates Post, Vuse, Brands For Less, HomzMart, Voga Closet, The Luxury Closet, Alyasra Group, and Yagmena, with primary verticals spanning FMCG, automotive, eCommerce/retail, fashion, electronics, and pharmaceuticals/healthcare.

The technology stack centers on an integrated WMS/TMS/YMS platform with Power BI analytics, and in 2026 Starlinks deployed a proprietary AI-powered vehicle damage inspection system across its automotive yards in Jeddah, Riyadh, and Dammam. The AI system uses four integrated scanner technologies — 360-degree arch, 4K underbody, tire tread depth, and 7K tire sidewall — to complete inspections in 10 seconds versus the industry-standard 5-10 minutes, with a processing capacity of up to 1,500 vehicles per day. AI-driven inventory management is also deployed for automotive spare-parts optimization. Multi-temperature (frozen, chilled, ambient) facilities hold SFDA licensing and ISO 9001:2015 plus ISO 22000:2018 certifications. Operations are anchored by substantial physical infrastructure: 900,000+ SQM of automotive yard space, 30,000+ SQM of spare-parts warehousing, the Thuraya Logistics Hub in Riyadh at 34,000+ SQM with 51,000+ pallet positions, 234 transportation vehicles, 250+ temperature-controlled last-mile vehicles, and a Parcel Point network of 500+ lifestyle venues.

The business model is enterprise quote-based across all service lines, with multi-year managed-services contracts typical for 3PL/4PL engagements. Revenue is generated through managed-services fees (warehousing, transportation, fully-managed facility operations for 3PL/4PL), transaction-based fees for freight and eCommerce fulfillment, and professional services revenue from the Solutions Division. Starlinks is a subsidiary of Al-Quraishi, a diversified Saudi conglomerate, with corporate leadership including Gary Blythe (Managing Director), Hamza ElShaer (Executive Director & GM, eCommerce Solutions), Hiba El Mohbi (Executive Director & GM, B2B Solutions), and Imad Hakim (Director of Business Development — B2B). The company's headquarters is in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia, with operational hubs in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam.
