Shipping the Economy | eCommerce and Freight

Thursday, March 28, 2019

Published on 01.03.2019 by Australia-United Kingdom Chamber of Commerce

As individuals and businesses increasingly move towards the convenience and accessibility of online shopping and ordering, how do traditional retailers and logistics services need to change to keep up with demand? Although click and collect and same day delivery look seamless to the consumer, the logistics that underpin eCommerce, from data to fulfilment and shipping, rely on complex interactions between multiple providers where the smallest change can delay whole shipments for days.
