Quant Data & Analytics partners with Satellogic to revolutionize property tech in KSA

Quant Data and Analytics, a Saudi provider of data and artificial intelligence products and enterprise solutions focused on the real estate and retail sectors, has announced a transformative three-year agreement with Satellogic Inc., a leader in sub-meter resolution Earth observation data collection. This strategic agreement leverages Satellogic’s high-resolution satellite imagery to serve and evolve the ever-expanding property tech landscape across Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region.

Quant’s collaboration with Satellogic will lead to the development of derivative products, transforming and broadening the adoption of data science, AI and SaaS products for real estate and retail. Satellogic’s flexible and scalable business model will support Quant’s Suhail platform, an interactive real estate tool for agencies, developers and clients, and Fruits360’s location intelligence tool, a state-of-the-art tool designed to empower restaurants with insights for geographical expansion and strategic location selection.

Ahmed Bukhamseen, CEO of Quant Data and Analytics, said: “Our collaboration with Satellogic marks a momentous advancement in real estate analytics for our region. The integration of high-resolution satellite imagery with our AI and geospatial technologies elevates our interactive real estate platform Suhail, and location intelligence tool powered by Fruits360, to unprecedented levels. Through utilizing GIS, data analytics and machine learning, we are also looking to support Vision 2030 with a novel location intelligence tool powered by our product, Fruits360. The feature will support the advancement of the retail and hospitality sectors by providing actionable insights into market dynamics, customer behavior, competition and other essential factors that influence expansion decisions. This collaboration resonates with our vision of a data-driven global economy and fulfills our goal to spread, implement and automate data-led solutions.”

Caitlin Kontgis, Satellogic’s senior vice president of commercial and growth, added: “Quant is redefining the future of real estate, creating opportunities for evolving processes such as property valuations and insurance underwriting. They needed an EO data provider capable of delivering high-capacity, high-resolution and frequent revisits at an attainable price. This relationship illustrates the potential of Satellogic’s EO business model.”

The collaboration is timely, coinciding with increased Saudi government investment in infrastructure to stimulate tourism, residential and commercial real estate development. Leveraging Satellogic’s high-resolution EO satellite constellation, the agreement will enable monitoring of rapid urban development and compliance with environmental and zoning regulations, enhancing competitiveness in the high-growth market.

By harnessing the power of satellite imagery, Quant is laying the foundation for a futuristic approach to real estate development, monitoring and decision-making. This collaboration promises to be a game-changer in utilizing big data to make transformative impacts on real estate, retail and beyond.

ALJ Motors champions Toyota SUVs’ off-road legacy

Abdul Latif Jameel Motors, the authorized distributor of Toyota vehicles in Saudi Arabia since 1955, has launched the second edition of its off-road initiative — an immersive driving experience designed to engage guests and showcase the real-world capabilities of Toyota’s SUV lineup in the Kingdom’s desert terrains. The activation takes place on weekends, starting initially in Riyadh and continuing through Jeddah, before concluding in Dammam on Jan. 24.
The multi-city activation is designed to engage guests through Toyota’s SUV lineup in fun and exciting ways, offering a hands-on opportunity to experience vehicle performance, control, and versatility. The lineup features a wide range of Toyota SUV models, including the Land Cruiser HEV Max, a hybrid vehicle built for performance. Beyond the off-road drives, the activation offers a welcoming weekend setting with supporting activities suitable for families and younger guests, creating a well-rounded experience for visitors of all ages.
Building on the success of its inaugural edition, which welcomed more than 4,500 participants and attracted over 10,000 attendees, the second edition continues to focus on meaningful guest engagement through interactive and experiential driving activities while emphasizing safety, trust, and enjoyment. Through this approach, ALJ Motors champions Toyota’s off-road legacy while creating an experience that further connects guests with Toyota’s renowned SUV lineup.
Shahad Nassier, managing director of marketing communications at ALJ Motors, said: “Following the strong response to the inaugural season, the return of this off-road experience allows us to continue engaging our guests in an authentic and exciting way. In this second edition, we have further refined the driving routes and elevated the overall experience to better serve our guests and their families. By bringing Toyota’s SUV lineup into real desert environments, we provide an opportunity for guests to experience vehicle performance firsthand, while reinforcing the values of reliability and capability that have long defined Toyota’s presence in the Kingdom.”
The experiential initiative deepens guest relationships, supports informed vehicle choice, and reflects ALJ Motors’ ongoing role in delivering reliable and diversified mobility solutions across the Kingdom, in line with Saudi Vision 2030. 
Guests interested in participating in the off-road experience can register for the upcoming activations in Jeddah on Jan. 9-10, followed by Dammam on Jan. 16-17 and 23-24, through ALJ Motors’ official social channels.
