This study is undertaken to examine the factors that positively affect Supply Chain Technology (SCT) implementation in warehouses operation, For the purpose of this study, it covers three important factors which include organisational culture, employee training and education and top management support. These factors are chosen because they are found to be important factors, as it was recommended from a previous study. As such, there is a need to scrutinize these factors. The objective of this study is to examine the implementation levels of supply chain technology in warehouses operation, to examine the influence of three variables of organizational culture, employee training and education and top management support on the supply chain technology implementation in warehouses and to investigate the challenges faced during the technology implementation. The study is a cross sectional study where data was gathered just once with minimal researcher’s interference. Data was collected using email questionnaire sent to a total of 400 companies that across various industries. A total of 35 respondents were obtained and used for the purposed of this study. Three hypotheses were tested in the data analysis process.
