Abstract

With an emphasis on the mediating function of smart logistics technologies (SLT), this study investigates the impact of real-time tracking technologies (RTT) on supply chain transparency in the Horn of Africa. The purpose of this study is to clarify how RTT might improve transparency through efficient integration with SLT in an area that has particular logistical problems and a changing technology environment. The study uses a mixed-methods technique to gather qualitative views from industry experts and quantitative data from logistics professionals. The results show that by providing real-time visibility into logistics processes, RTT greatly increases supply chain transparency. Additionally, SLT is recognized as an essential mediator that promotes improved stakeholder communication and data exchange. This study emphasizes how important it is to implement cutting-edge tracking and logistics technology in order to promote openness, establish credibility, and improve overall operational performance.
