Background of the Study
Real-time analytics has emerged as a critical tool for optimizing logistics operations, providing businesses with actionable insights to enhance efficiency and reduce costs. By analyzing live data from sources such as GPS systems, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and customer feedback, real-time analytics enables transport companies to make informed decisions quickly (McKinsey, 2024).
Transport companies in Jigawa State face challenges such as inefficient route planning, delayed deliveries, and high operational costs. Real-time analytics presents an opportunity to address these challenges by improving decision-making, streamlining operations, and enhancing customer satisfaction. Despite its potential, the adoption of real-time analytics remains limited in Jigawa State due to technical and financial constraints (Bashir & Suleiman, 2023). This study evaluates the impact of real-time analytics on logistics optimization in transport companies in Jigawa State.
Statement of the Problem
Logistics inefficiencies remain a significant issue for transport companies in Jigawa State, leading to increased costs and reduced competitiveness. Traditional logistics systems often lack the capability to analyze and respond to dynamic changes in real-time. While real-time analytics has demonstrated significant benefits in other regions, its practical impact on logistics operations in Jigawa State is not well-documented (Ali et al., 2024). This study addresses this gap by assessing how real-time analytics influences logistics optimization in the local transport sector.
