In today’s fast-paced global economy, procurement and logistics play a vital role in ensuring the seamless flow of goods and services across industries. Yet, despite its importance, businesses—especially in regions like Lagos, Nigeria—still grapple with inefficiencies, high operational costs, and delays that cripple profitability and growth.
According to a 2024 PwC Nigeria Logistics Survey, 61% of Nigerian businesses cited supply chain disruptions and procurement delays as top challenges affecting their operations. Across Sub-Saharan Africa, logistics inefficiencies alone add 30-40% to the final cost of goods, making local products less competitive globally.
The Root Problems
Lack of transparency in procurement: Many organizations suffer from manual procurement systems prone to fraud, delayed approvals, and lack of supplier visibility.
Inefficient transportation infrastructure: Nigeria ranks low on the World Bank’s Logistics Performance Index, with recurring issues such as port congestion, bad road networks, and uncoordinated customs procedures.
Poor inventory and warehousing management: Businesses often overstock or understock due to lack of real-time inventory tracking, leading to losses.
Fragmented third-party logistics (3PL) systems: The rise of e-commerce in Nigeria has exposed the gaps in reliable last-mile delivery and reverse logistics services.
