Background of the Study

Real-time tracking systems have revolutionized the logistics industry by providing visibility into the movement of goods and assets across the supply chain. These systems, which use technologies such as GPS, RFID, and IoT devices, enable businesses to monitor deliveries, track inventory, and optimize routing in real-time. Jumia Nigeria, one of the largest e-commerce platforms in the country, relies heavily on logistics to fulfill customer orders. With its vast network of warehouses, fulfillment centers, and delivery partners, Jumia faces the challenge of ensuring timely and accurate deliveries to customers, especially in regions such as Yobe State. The introduction of real-time tracking systems has the potential to significantly enhance logistics efficiency by providing better visibility, reducing delivery delays, and improving overall customer satisfaction.

In Yobe State, where road infrastructure may be less developed in some areas, implementing real-time tracking systems can help Jumia navigate logistical challenges and enhance its delivery operations. By enabling the company to track delivery vehicles and shipments in real time, Jumia can improve route optimization, reduce delivery times, and respond more effectively to any disruptions in the supply chain. However, while the benefits of real-time tracking systems are widely acknowledged, their implementation in developing regions like Yobe State presents unique challenges, including infrastructure limitations, technological barriers, and training needs. This study aims to evaluate the impact of real-time tracking systems on logistics efficiency at Jumia Nigeria in Yobe State, assessing the extent to which these systems contribute to operational improvements and identifying the challenges faced by the company in their adoption.

Statement of the Problem

Jumia Nigeria’s logistics operations in Yobe State face significant challenges, such as delayed deliveries, inaccurate order tracking, and inefficient route planning. Despite the potential benefits of real-time tracking systems, the company has not fully leveraged these technologies in all regions, including Yobe State. This has resulted in inefficiencies, increased operational costs, and lower customer satisfaction. There is a need to evaluate the effectiveness of real-time tracking systems in improving logistics efficiency, particularly in Yobe State, where logistical challenges such as poor infrastructure and inconsistent service availability may hinder performance.

Objectives of the Study

1. To evaluate the impact of real-time tracking systems on logistics efficiency at Jumia Nigeria in Yobe State.

2. To assess the challenges faced by Jumia Nigeria in implementing real-time tracking systems in Yobe State.

3. To recommend strategies for improving logistics efficiency at Jumia Nigeria using real-time tracking systems in Yobe State.

Research Questions

1. How do real-time tracking systems impact logistics efficiency at Jumia Nigeria in Yobe State?

2. What challenges does Jumia Nigeria face in implementing real-time tracking systems in Yobe State?

3. How can logistics efficiency be improved through the use of real-time tracking systems in Jumia Nigeria?

Research Hypotheses

1. Real-time tracking systems do not significantly impact logistics efficiency at Jumia Nigeria in Yobe State.

2. There is no significant relationship between the use of real-time tracking systems and customer satisfaction in Yobe State.

3. The challenges faced by Jumia Nigeria in implementing real-time tracking systems do not significantly affect logistics efficiency in Yobe State.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

The scope of this study is limited to Jumia Nigeria’s logistics operations in Yobe State, with a focus on evaluating the impact of real-time tracking systems on efficiency. The study will assess delivery times, route optimization, customer satisfaction, and cost reductions. Limitations include potential data accessibility issues, challenges in tracking the full extent of logistical activities, and regional barriers to technology adoption.
