Zain KSA unveils 100% Saudi-made fleet management system

Leading telecommunications and digital services provider Zain KSA has launched the first 100 percent Saudi-made fleet management system for the business sector. This comprehensive solution incorporates state-of-the-art tracking devices designed, manufactured, and assembled locally. Leveraging the advanced capabilities of Zain Cloud and hosting all data locally, Zain KSA has become the first telecom operator in the Kingdom to offer a fleet management solution for the “Made in Saudi” program.

The fleet management system is a comprehensive cloud-based platform that helps businesses of all sizes streamline their logistics operations, improve travel routes, and reduce fuel consumption, thereby lowering carbon emissions, safeguarding the environment, and promoting sustainability. By offering real-time GPS tracking, this innovative system enhances road safety and security across the transportation and logistics sectors, empowering decision-makers with crucial insights through comprehensive reports based on accurate data. This allows for informed decisions that boost operational efficiency and save costs.

Saad bin Abdulrahman Al-Sadhan, chief business and wholesale officer at Zain KSA, said: “We are proud to be the first telecommunications and digital services provider to offer an integrated solution designed and developed in the Kingdom, aligning with our sustainability strategy of supporting local content. This achievement demonstrates our commitment to the aspirations of our astute leadership and Saudi Vision 2030, promoting the digital economy and localizing technology. At Zain KSA, we are steadfast in our commitment to building a robust technology ecosystem that leverages digitization and automation to empower the Kingdom’s productive, service, and logistics sectors. The fleet management system is a direct result of this commitment, and we take immense pride in being at the forefront of companies providing 100 percent national digital solutions, joining hands to bolster our cherished homeland and uphold its prosperity.”

“Made in Saudi” is a national program that supports homegrown goods and services, building a trusted brand for consumers. By positioning national products and services as a preferred choice and enhancing consumer loyalty, the program aims to activate the role of Saudi-made goods in bolstering non-oil GDP. This serves the economic goals of Saudi Vision 2030 to increase revenue diversification and enhance national products in accordance with the highest standards of reliability and excellence.

Zain KSA has recently secured the HRSD Labor Award for Talent Localization in the ICT sector in recognition of its efforts and achievements in empowering innovation and development in the sector through a dynamic and youthful national workforce. Demonstrating its commitment to local talent and innovation, Zain KSA has also signed a strategic partnership agreement with Pioneers Systems, the renowned Saudi company specializing in the design, development, manufacture, and assembly of electronic circuits, to develop Internet of Things solutions and localize specialized products and expertise in this field to achieve sustainability of innovation in the Kingdom’s communications and digital services sector, ultimately contributing to increasing the sector’s local content percentage.

XYZVerse warns against ongoing phishing scams targeting community

XYZVerse warns against ongoing phishing scams targeting community

The XYZVerse team has alerted its community to an increase in phishing scams and impersonation attempts by malicious actors posing as official representatives. The warning has been posted on XYZVerse’s official X account. These scammers are distributing fraudulent links, attempting to deceive users into revealing sensitive wallet information or transferring funds under false pretenses.

The rise in scam activity comes as XYZVerse gains momentum within the Web3 and meme coin space. With a growing community, rising visibility, and ongoing project development, the platform has become a target for opportunistic attackers seeking to exploit its success.

To maintain transparency and security, XYZVerse has undergone independent security audits conducted by Pessimistic and SolidProof, two established firms in the Web3 security space. These audits are designed to assess and validate the integrity of the project’s smart contracts, helping to identify potential vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them.

The project’s official Polygon-based token address is publicly available on the XYZVerse website, and XYZ tokens are only available for purchase through the official website: xyzverse.io.

Warning signs of a scam:

  • Messages from fake “XYZVerse Support” or team members
  • Suspicious links promising exclusive airdrops or claiming token sale updates
  • Requests for wallet access, seed phrases, or private keys

Fake communication often mimics the tone and branding of the project’s official channels. These attempts have included messages from unaffiliated Telegram or social media accounts, links to counterfeit airdrops, and websites mimicking the xyzverse.io domain. No legitimate communication will request wallet credentials, seed phrases, or private access information.

XYZVerse is actively monitoring the situation in coordination with its security partners and will continue taking steps to minimize exposure to fraudulent activity. Updates will be shared through established and verified communication channels.

Lean strengthens its global footprint with scientific achievements, strategic partnerships

Lean Business Services — the Kingdom’s foremost developer of digital-health solutions and a Public Investment Fund portfolio company— continues to consolidate its leadership in the digital-health sector at both national and international levels. 

At ISPOR 2025 in Montréal, Canada, the company’s research team presented three peer-reviewed studies grounded in advanced analytics and extensive national datasets before embarking on an official visit to South Korea to explore collaborations in health technology and research.

The first study introduced an integrated economic model that assesses the cost-effectiveness of Type 2 diabetes-prevention programs over a 10-year horizon, capturing both direct and indirect costs from the first-year diagnosis through long-term complications. 

A second paper provided a comprehensive assessment to date of Saudi Arabia’s chronic disease burden, leveraging records from more than 33 million individuals and sophisticated statistical models to inform resource allocation and healthcare planning. 

The third study delivered a five-year review of more than 2 million psychotropic prescriptions, pinpointing opportunities to refine prescribing practices, particularly for older adults, relative to other chronic-medication regimens.

To broaden its international collaboration, a Lean delegation traveled to South Korea, where it joined the Saudi–Korean Business & Investment Forum, met leading health-tech institutions, and examined best practices at Seoul National University Hospital. 

Discussions focused on artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and population data analytics.

Engineer Mohannad Al-Rasheed, Lean’s chief executive officer, expressed pride in representing the Kingdom on these global stages. 

“Lean is committed to building knowledge partnerships that elevate Saudi Arabia as an advanced hub for digital health,” he said. “Our active participation in specialized international gatherings reflects the maturity of the Saudi health sector and its ability to export both expertise and solutions.”

Driven by the conviction that data-powered innovation is key to a more efficient and inclusive healthcare future, Lean will continue to invest in research and cross-border collaboration, supporting Vision 2030’s goal of a cutting-edge, sustainable digital-health ecosystem for the Kingdom.
