Jumia Technologies AG (JMIA), Africa’s leading e-commerce platform, recently launched a state-of-the-art integrated warehouse and logistics facility in Tema, Ghana. This milestone represents a significant investment in Ghana’s e-commerce ecosystem and reinforces Jumia’s dedication to providing outstanding customer experiences. The expansion aligns with Jumia’s strategic goal of streamlining operations and boosting efficiency across its pan-African platform. It also follows similar initiatives successfully implemented in Nigeria, Morocco, Egypt, and Côte d’Ivoire.
The newly unveiled warehouse in Tema spans an impressive 6,000 square meters, marking a transformative step in the company’s operations in Ghana. The state-of-the-art facility substantially increases storage capacity, empowering Jumia to manage its ever-expanding product portfolio efficiently. By enhancing its logistics infrastructure, Jumia is better positioned to address the growing needs of Ghanaian customers and deliver a seamless online shopping experience.
The facility is designed to optimize supply chain operations, enabling faster order processing and quicker delivery times. This improvement is expected to significantly elevate customer satisfaction by reducing delays and increasing the availability of a broader range of products. As the e-commerce sector in Ghana continues to expand, the Tema warehouse serves as a strategic investment that supports Jumia’s long-term vision for growth.
By scaling its operations through this advanced logistics hub, Jumia solidifies its reputation as the country’s preferred online shopping destination and reinforces its commitment to driving innovation and efficiency in Ghana’s e-commerce ecosystem. This expansion aligns with Jumia’s mission to make online shopping more accessible, convenient, and reliable for customers across the region.
“This strategic expansion is a testament to Jumia Ghana’s success and our unwavering dedication to serving the Ghanaian market. Enhancing our logistics infrastructure across our footprint better positions Jumia to meet the evolving needs of our customers and drive e-commerce growth. This new facility will enable us to offer a wider selection of products, faster delivery times, and even greater convenience to customers,” said Francis Dufay, CEO of Jumia.
The new warehouse is strategically located in Tema, which provides excellent accessibility to major transportation routes and ensures efficient distribution across Ghana. Now fully operational, the facility is primed to support Jumia’s highly anticipated Black Friday campaign, running from November 1 to November 30, 2024. This annual sales event serves as a dynamic platform for local businesses to connect with new customers and drive sales, fostering entrepreneurship and contributing to job creation throughout the country.
“Our team is excited to operate from this new, modern facility, and we are sure to see improved employee satisfaction. The increased space and advanced infrastructure will also allow us to streamline our operations, improve order fulfilment, and deliver an even better shopping experience for our customers,” said Fiacre N’Guessan, Chief Supply Chain Officer of Jumia Ghana.
