Abstract
The South African economy faces several obstacles, including political unpredictability that
may deter investment, a high unemployment rate, inflation, crime, a trade imbalance, and a
volatile exchange rate. However, one of the biggest obstacles is a lack of skills. In the
globalised era, having access to knowledge and skills is essential for any nation to succeed.
Those without the required abilities are left behind. Logistics service providers are converting
their conventional logistics system into an e-Logistics system, given how drastically the
internet’s phenomenal expansion is altering how organisations conduct business. This thesis
explains how the supply chain management sector has evolved significantly as a result of the
advancements in information systems technology. An essential requirement for effective
logistics management is the integration of Information Technology.
