Abstract
This publication on e-commerce deep dives into the rapid growth and development of e-commerce in recent years, explores key e-commerce models emerging, and discusses the potential benefits and challenges last mile distributors may experience when introducing an e-commerce platform in their business. The spotlight also features stories and key learnings from trailblazers Frontier Markets and Econome.
Description
This publication on e-commerce is the second of six in the innovation spotlight series by the Global Distributors Collective (GDC), which focusses on innovation trends to watch out for in the last mile distribution (LMD) sector. These trends emerged from GDC interviews (in 2023) with 17 thought leaders in the LMD sector. Some featured trends are more nascent than others and, although they might not be relevant to all last mile distributors yet, we believe they are worth watching. This publication was funded by British International Investment.
