We have shared with you a previous compilation about the most important information about
e-commerce and its socioeconomic impact as a global industry. Today, we are sharing the second part of this new marketing modality, which is a trend and a necessity for all companies. Let's go!

  • The American e-commerce company "Amazon" is considered the queen of e-commerce, being a strong rival of large companies such as Walmart
  • The e-commerce has shown strong changes in consumption, marking new ways in which products are ordered. For example, nowadays the production and packaging processes have diversified, offering products in smaller quantities and individual packages. That is to say, the distribution centers not only take orders from other businesses, but also from a single customer, that is, atomized products.
  • Being an industry by itself, e-commerce pushes new logistic concepts such as omnichannel. Currently the logistics centers must meet a greater number of orders, which not only continue to be companies that buy in large quantities, but also for individual customers who buy a single piece. The immediacy of e-commerce requires delivery logistics to be a challenge to be optimized.
  • According to the brandwatch website; e-commerce pushes the processes to be faster every day, creating a strong impact with the planet’s sustainability, "the difficulties of delivery drivers with overload of work or the environmental impact related to the fact that we receive our packages instantly can surprise us. The super safe and solar powered delivery drones that will save us from all these problems will probably not be seen flying through the sky later this year.
