UAE – Mubasher: Majid Al Futtaim has partnered with Mr Usta, an online marketplace providing home services, according to a press release on Tuesday.
Under the strategic partnership, Mr Usta will allow customers at Majid Al Futtaim's Carrefour, Crate & Barrel, and Maison du Monde to have access to skilled professionals and craftsmen for after-sale solutions.
In addition, customers of SHARE, Majid Al Futtaim’s lifestyle rewards programme, will be able to get points on Mr Usta services.
The agreement came in line with the government's urge for people to stay at home to contain the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak
Commenting on the partnership, the Chief Corporate Development Officer at Majid Al Futtaim, Joe Abi Akl, said: "Given the financial pressure on smaller businesses at present, we believe that large conglomerates like Majid Al Futtaim can have a positive influence on the SME sector through similar partnerships."
Abi Akl added: "While this agreement will provide new revenue streams for Mr Usta, it will improve our offering and provide our customers with safe and reliable home services."
