Technology has enabled logistics companies to improve their efficiency, accuracy, and speed, while also providing greater transparency and visibility into the supply chain.

One of the most significant trends in logistics technology is the use of automation.

One of the few organisations leveraging tech to drive logistics is Capsa Technology.

Capsa Technology, one of the leading fintech companies that specializes in innovative alternative financing solutions in Nigeria, has reaffirmed its commitment to empowering the country’s supply chain and logistics sector.

In collaboration with Lagos Business School, widely renowned as Africa’s top-ranked business school, Capsa recently hosted the “Supply Chain 4.0: Technology, Factoring, and the Future of Supply Chain” executive course, held over two days on September 22nd and September 23rd, 2023.

“This is an innovative software that converges the investors, vendors and supply chain organisations into finding lasting solutions to working capital management challenges,” Ojadi said.
