The company has consolidated its operations and expanded storage capacity to enhance supply chain management in the country
Jumia, the leading e-commerce platform in Nigeria, announced the launch of a new integrated warehouse and logistics network facility spanning 30,000 square meters, with over 17,000 square meters of covered storage in Isolo, Lagos. This strategic development signifies a major step forward in Jumia Nigeria’s commitment to enhancing its logistics capabilities and providing customers with an amazing shopping experience.
The new facility boasts a significantly larger storage capacity compared to Jumia’s previous, fragmented warehouses. This allows for a significant scale-up of operations, ensuring Jumia can efficiently manage future growth and meet the ever-increasing demands of the Nigerian e-commerce market.
“The launch of our integrated warehouse marks a key moment for Jumia Nigeria. By consolidating our operations under one roof, we are not only streamlining our fulfillment processes but also laying the groundwork for significant improvements in efficiency, scalability, and cost reduction. This will allow us to offer a wider product variety and, most importantly, deliver them to our consumers faster than ever before,” said Sunil Natraj, CEO of Jumia Nigeria.
Speaking at the grand opening, the Honourable Commissioner for Commerce, Cooperatives, Trade and Investment, Mrs Folashade Ambrose-Medebem, representing the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu said, “Jumia’s journey in Nigeria has been nothing short of extraordinary. From simple beginnings, it has grown into a leading e-commerce company revolutionising the way we shop and do business. This new warehouse with its cutting-edge technology and vast capacity will significantly enhance Jumia’s ability to serve its customers efficiently. Meeting the ever-growing demands of the e-commerce sector, it is a bold economic step forward in ensuring that goods can be delivered faster, more reliably and at a lower cost. We are proud to support initiatives such as these that drive economic growth and provide employment opportunities for our people. This warehouse will create numerous jobs and provide skill development opportunities, further strengthening our local workforce.”
The integrated warehouse opening is remarkable as it eliminates the need for first-mile transportation between multiple warehouses and sorting centers, resulting in a significant reduction in carbon emissions — thereby demonstrating Jumia’s commitment to sustainability.
“We are excited to provide our dedicated supply chain team with a modern and improved working environment. The new facility’s central location in Isolo offers convenient access for our staff and streamlines the logistics processes. Additionally, the integration of various services will empower us to optimize fulfillment and reduce our environmental impact through minimized transportation requirements,” said Richmond Otu, Chief Supply Chain Officer of Jumia Nigeria.
Nigeria remains a key market for the Jumia and this latest investment is a testament to the company’s commitment to revolutionize e-commerce and ensure that all consumers across the country enjoy the benefits of online shopping.
