SES-04

In the rapidly evolving landscape of e-commerce, retailers are constantly seeking innovative ways to stay competitive and meet growing consumer demands.

This whitepaper delves into the challenges faced by retailers and presents a transformative approach to achieve sustainable and profitable e-commerce growth through the strategic repurposing of existing store infrastructure and the adoption of advanced technological solutions. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll discover:

  1. Growth and challenges in e-commerce: Rapid expansion of e-commerce driven by omnichannel offerings and Covid-19 acceleration. In grocery, online sales growth results from curbside pickup and delivery, but traditional strategies and high costs make profitability challenging.
  2. Complex retailer equation: High investment costs, order preparation, and logistics expenses lead to negative or near-zero net profitability for e-commerce. Centralized fulfillment centers are costly and unsustainable, while in-store preparation faces high non-automated costs and limited capacity.
  3. Proposed solution for sustainable growth: The publication suggests transforming existing stores into efficient local fulfillment centers. This approach aims to create a sustainable, profitable, hybrid retailing model that addresses current challenges and meets consumer expectations in terms of quality and speed.

Dive into our whitepaper to explore these insights in detail and discover how to navigate the future of e-commerce with sustainability and innovation.
