ABSTRACT
The study is an expository study of the construct of customers’
proximity, global positioning systems and return on investment for
logistic transactional companies in Nigeria. The study tends to look at
how customers’ proximity benefits business; it went on to briefly
relate the role that global positioning systems (GPS) have on
customers’ proximity and how revenue generation is affected with
such linkage with due consideration to customers retention,
customers service experience, sales management and revenue
generation. The accelerator theory of investment was adopted to help
in explaining the issues of return on investment, by linking customer
proximity and global positioning systems (GPS). From the review of
related literature we concluded that the proximity of customers can
be realized with ease if Global positioning systems (GPS) is
introduced into the logistic companies’ operations and as such,
revenue will grow in the right direction. Based on the conclusion of
the study we recommend that logistic companies in Nigeria should
introduce the use of GPS in relating with their customers. The
organization should create a platform that can bring their customers
into close contact as this will not only ensure their ability to relate
with their customers but will also ensure that customers to customers’
relationship are foster. Furthermore, the
