In the case of landlocked nations in East Africa, the actual aspect of the problem starts when the cargo is out of the port. Ethiopia, South Sudan, Rwanda and Uganda are some of the countries that do not have direct access to the sea but rely on effective overland modes of transport that link them to world trade routes. This is where inland haulage is not merely a logistics operation at best, but an economic life line. The inland haulage facilitates trade continuity, price stability and industrial development in some of the fastest growing economies of Africa by connecting ports to inland markets. We will discuss the way this vital logistics connection propels landlocked markets and enhances the integration of the region in East Africa.

Warehouse & Distribution Management: The Heart of Efficient Supply Chains

  No matter how advanced global trade is, there is one thing that can never change: products have to be stored, sorted and delivered with accuracy. Behind all the seamless delivery, all the properly stocked retail shelves, every timely delivery is an entire ecosystem that operates silently in the background. The warehouse and distribution management — the ecosystem that is an actual heartbeat of supply chains. Although transportation is usually in the limelight, the actual performance of a supply chain is decided well before trucks roll on the road or containers are loaded at the port.

Walmart’s storefronts and UPS trucks may look impressive, but without organised warehousing, any business would quickly fall apart. Consider a warehouse as if it’s the enormous backstage of a concert stage. Customers have a great show, but meanwhile, a group ensures everything they see is properly positioned. Like a stage crew depends on having the correct equipment for a good show, warehouse teams depend on specific essentials to keep everything moving efficiently.
