What is Enterprise Shipping

Enterprise shipping is not some mysterious corporate function. In fact, it is exactly what it sounds like. It is the process of shipping performed at a level visible to any management person or employee who has been given the permissions to perform the shipping task, or see the shipping information at a corporate level.

Enterprise shipping goes beyond the normal, “I have a package and now I need to ship it” type of processing. In this situation, shipping is not a just a function of the warehouse, it is a process driven by the enterprise. There must be planning in place for how to get the information required for shipment processing, how to use the information to create business rules to ship the order properly, and how to route correctly the results of what has shipped to the appropriate data storage locations in the enterprise.

A new enterprise shipping system needs to be able to handle existing company requirements and processes as well as being scalable upward and across the enterprise.

Nigeria has ambitious rapid development plans to take it to the top twenty world economies by 2020. The eventual success of this endeavor is inextricably linked to entrepreneurial performance, as well as to the management of its womenfolk who comprises close to half its total human resource.

Although there are dissenting voices on the subject, it is widely accepted that women in Nigeria are systematically discriminated against, harassed and abused at home and work, and suffer violent crimes and unequal treatment both within their homes and outside. Deep-set regressive and repressive practices have led to unabated misery for Nigerian women in various forms: social inferiority, economic disempowerment, denial of access to property and inheritance, sexual abuse, trafficking and proliferation of HIV/AIDS.

A 2000 World Bank study titled ‘Can Africa Claim the 21 Century’ sets forth two fundamental premises that hold especially true for Nigeria2:
