manufacturing companies amidst the rapidly evolving business landscape. However, in Kenya, numerous firms encounter
challenges in embracing and assimilating the latest technological advancements into their supply chain operations. This study

technology significantly enhances overall business performance. Consequently, the study concludes that supply chain
technological integration plays a positive role in influencing firm performance among formal manufacturing enterprises in
Mombasa County. To optimize performance, it is recommended that firms invest in robust and reliable technologies. Furthermore,
