E-commerce has grown in parallel with the Internet. At first, there were a few small steps, then bigger ones, while in recent years it has become a huge part of a consumer’s life. And in fact, for many consumers, during the lockdown period due to COVID-19, e-commerce is the only part.
So how did e-commerce react and respond during quarantine? First of all, the numbers show an unprecedented increase . According to data from the Greek Association of Electronic Commerce (GR.EC.A.) collected from 6,567 e-shops , consumer spending on products in online stores by Greeks in April increased by up to 171% .
However, along with the increase in turnover , the limits of e-commerce are , as expected, also being tested . Coping with such high demand requires a leap from the e-commerce operators, far above the endurance of today’s models.
Giants of the market, created and operating for more than 20 years only in the e-commerce ecosystem, such as Amazon, face difficulties and delays in delivery times (despite the hiring of 175,000 additional Amazon employees for this very purpose).
It is clear that e-commerce has gaps and shortcomings, just like physical commerce and that it also depends on the number of people available to manage and execute each stage of the supply chain. The bottom line is that, despite the advancement of technology, humans will never cease to be necessary!
