Abstract

As the sustainability of any business depends on the effectiveness of their supply chain amongst other factors, it is important to note that final delivery is crucial. In today’s world, technology has made rapid steps in constantly modifying the online shopping experience for customers allowing retail businesses to run new models and strategies. The study focuses on finding the relationship between effective e-logistics (ICT and delivery) and customer loyalty. The current study used a systematic review of peer-reviewed journal articles to find a relationship.

The main aim of the research is to identify the impact of E- transportation on customers satisfaction and their loyalty in the E-logistics industry using “An-Post” as case study. As a result, in assessing the importance of e-logistics service quality issues influencing consumer satisfaction when shopping online, the researcher proposes a questionnaire-based analysis of the influence of these elements, presuming that effective e-logistics can increase consumer satisfaction leading to consumer loyalty and retention. This was conducted using SPSS 27 to analyze the descriptive and inferential statistics with sample size of 205 respondent. Therefore, it became clear by comparing the findings of these hypotheses to the literature research that there are existing gaps between E-logistics impacts and customers satisfaction and loyalty. The study findings will benefit retail practitioners who are also in the online retail business and researchers contributing to the academia to further research opportunities.
