Apoorva Kumar shared some insightful views about the challenges of delivering online orders in Africa and how Jumia used smart technology to make it easier. In a vast continent with unique difficulties, getting orders on time used to be tricky, but Jumia had a digital solution. They used computers and special systems to manage their supply chain in 11 African countries, ensuring that everything arrived promptly, whether it was on-demand deliveries, online shopping, or even using trucks and drones! What was really cool was that they also used computer learning to figure out what people wanted and where they wanted it.
