E-commerce has continued to see strong year on year growth, even before the pandemic accelerated it to new heights.
While sales growth might start to level off as we head back to more normal times, few doubt that e-commerce will remain an essential retail channel.
One of the backbones of e-commerce is logistics. It takes incredible agility and resiliency to be able to provide merchandise on-demand to consumers in the US and Europe when it’s often sourced in Asia – even when there’s no global health crisis.
I’m Jane Singer and Welcome to a Seat at The Table.
To get some insights into what these small and medium sized direct-to-consumer retailers are doing, I reached out to Judah Levine, Research Lead at Freightos.com, a logistics marketplace that was purpose built to provide these business with greater transparency and flexibility on the freight side of their operations.
