Ecommerce giant Jumia has announced it is recording growth in its operations in Ivory Coast. Jumia announced what it described as ‘comforting figures’ – 500,000 monthly unique visitors, an assortment of over 50,000 products, 20 categories, and 1000 orders fulfilled daily.
The company undertook the relocation of its Treichville warehouse to a brand new, twice as large storage facility warehouse, in the industrial zone of Koumassi; a suburb of Abidjan. Operations at the new warehouse are scheduled to start today. Motivated employees, a new working environment, and a high-tech warehouse: all the ingredients to maintain JUMIA’s success are there.
Almost two years after JUMIA placed the daring bet to revolutionize shopping habits in Côte d’Ivoire, e-commerce has resolutely become synonymous with the company’s name. The online shopping mall steadily continues to expand in such way that, the capacity of its former warehouse has been exceeded. JUMIA’s new warehouse comprises a storage capacity of 2000m2 situated in the neighborhood of Koumassi, with all the technology and facilities necessary to the implementation of a multichannel logistics strategy. Being part of the expansion plan that led the company to increase its human capital by 7 and double its deliveries, this recent move is intended to further enhance the quality of the delivery experience.
