INTEGRATION OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN LOGISTICS: CASE OF DEVELOPING ECONOMIES

Abstract

Due to the consistency in technological evolution, business sectors are gradually embracing the digital spheres by integrating software systems into their business operations. This is also due to the effective presence of more customers online, necessitating the integration of automated systems to match their current needs. It is however sad that this technological evolution is not evenly distributed, as some developing nations still operate manually. This research paper therefore focuses on examining the need for full technological integration into the logistics systems of developing economies, assessing the challenges of introducing such innovations and suggesting ways for effective implementation.
