Background of the Study
The adoption of mobile applications has revolutionized business operations by enhancing communication, streamlining processes, and improving customer experiences. In the logistics sector, mobile apps enable efficient tracking, inventory management, and service delivery, contributing to overall business efficiency (Smith & Brown, 2023).
Logistics companies in Bauchi State face challenges such as operational inefficiencies, delays in delivery, and limited resource optimization. Mobile applications offer a solution by automating key processes and facilitating real-time decision-making (Adebayo & Musa, 2024).
