The pioneer composite
e-commerce outfit, Yudala has invested in a trio of 220,660 square feet
warehouse space located within the regional hubs of Lagos, Abuja and Port
Harcourt, with construction also expected to commence soon on similar
structures in Owerri, Kano and Uyo, reports ITRealms.
Head of Operations,
Yudala, Ejovi Ekakitie, disclosed this, saying that the warehouses, which will
significantly boost Yudala’s inventory-taking capacity, are individually the
largest warehouse structures in Africa, eclipsing the 120,000 square feet
structure recently announced as the continent’s largest by a fellow e-commerce
player.
“These warehouses
will be fully automated with warehouse Management systems to create efficient
and accurate inventory management to meet our commitment of same day delivery.
We are preparing for the future explosion in the sector as our mandate is very
clear – to lead,” Ekakitie said.
He pointed out that
since entry into the market late last year, Yudala has re-defined the retail
space with our landmark composite retail strategy, the first in Africa, which has
shown that Nigeria indeed has a lot to offer the continent and the world at
large in terms of innovation.
According to him,
through wide variety of delightful promotions and product offerings, many of
which Yudala are still unveiling, stressing they generated huge momentum and
enjoyed massive patronage which has overwhelmed they warehousing capabilities.
“It has, therefore,
become imperative for us to expand our capacity especially in this area to
enable us meet up with our logistics expectations in the current year which is
a pivotal one for all of us at Yudala,” he said.
Throwing more light
on the massive structures which will service the network of Experience Stores
in the various regions of their locations, Mr. Ekakitie noted that the
warehouses will further equip the company to take huge inventory while scaling
up its operational capacities.
“The warehouses are
220,660 square feet automated structures which will be fitted with
state-of-the-art warehouse management systems and ancillary IT packages which
will provide on-site storage and also go a long way in streamlining our
logistics and delivery processes while reducing human error to the barest
minimum.
Ekakitie further
said, Yudala over-riding ambition is to ensure that its esteemed customers
enjoy guaranteed same day delivery wherever they may be in Nigeria and these
warehouses will certainly play a big role in helping us achieve this.
“We pioneered same
day delivery on a nationwide scale earlier in March with the special Easter
edition of Yu-jara and with these
warehouses, even Nigerians in the hinterlands will enjoy this convenience,” he submitted.
ITRealms recalls that
Yudala was launched late last year with great panache and marketing blitz,
Yudala took the African continent by storm with its bold entry and has
successfully expanded the nation’s e-commerce and offline retail space with
several innovative strategies including the first ever drone delivery in
Africa, Neighbour to Neighbour Mega Deals,
Monthly Mid-Day Madness and Yu-jara – Nigeria’s biggest festive
season’s sales, and Yudala Mobile Monday
among others. Yudala prides itself for genuine products and for being the
fastest pay-on-delivery composite e-commerce company in the country.
