The following objectives guided this study: To examine the influence of logistics planning on customer satisfaction in Uganda Telecom Limited; To examine the influence of freight/transport management on customer satisfaction in Uganda Telecom Limited and; To examine the influence of warehouse management on customer satisfaction in Uganda Telecom Limited. The study adopted a case study research design. The study adopted both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Out of 207 respondents, 161 (78%) participated in the study. Respondents were selected using census, simple random and convenience sampling methods.

The study established that logistics planning influenced customer satisfaction whereby logistics planning accounted for 64.3% of variance in customer satisfaction. In addition, freight/transport management influenced customer satisfaction whereby freight/transport management accounted for 74.3% of variance in customer satisfaction.
