Background of the Study
Logistics management involves the coordination and optimization of all aspects of the supply chain, including transportation, warehousing, and inventory management. Effective logistics management is crucial for businesses like Jumia Nigeria, which operates in the fast-paced and highly competitive e-commerce sector. For Jumia, ensuring that products are delivered on time, in good condition, and with minimal cost is key to customer satisfaction and retention. In Taraba State, where logistical challenges such as poor infrastructure and long delivery distances can complicate operations, Jumia’s ability to manage logistics effectively is vital to its continued success in the region.

Delays in delivery, product damage during transit, and poor customer service can significantly impact consumer perception and lead to dissatisfaction. This study seeks to explore how logistics management practices in Jumia Nigeria’s operations in Taraba State impact customer satisfaction, evaluating how the company’s approach to transportation, warehousing, and inventory management influences the overall customer experience.
