E-Commerce's Un-assembly Lines
E-commerce may have disrupted shopping as we know it, but the cart of surprises is still not done with. From open-box delivery, free home trials to 3D trial rooms, expect some really path-breaking quirks from e-tailers any time soon. Shipping some examples here
Even Before You Buy: Believe it or not, trail-blazer Amazon is seriously mulling the idea of anticipatory shipping. Patent has already been filed for guessing what a buyer WOULD buy long ahead of the actual click, thanks to algorithms, wish-list/buying patterns and all that browsing data.
Next Door Delivery: Who says e-commerce threatens Mom-n-Pop stores. It is now giving them an extra job. Hold our stuff till the buyer, who happens to stay in your neighbourhood, comes to collect it. That way companies can cut costs, missed deliveries and travel in one shot.
Who thought we would be ordering diamonds, groceries, medicines, party-props, balloons, prank-stuff, singing bands online? But then, who would have thought some years back that we would shop for books, and clothes from a computer window?
Taxi Deliveries: If UberEATS and UberHEALTH etc are anything to go by, food, flu shots and more is being driven by quick-call taxis. Hail-ride services as logistics platform, now that sounds something worth a whistle.
Drones Etc: Robotics and advanced technology may be in the testing phase (read Amazon, Walmart, Alibaba, Singpost) and running its regulatory-nod course now, but the potential is as limitless as the risks.
Rural Deliveries: The shopping is going deep into the hinterlands too with the help of networks like postal services and village shops
'Always on the Road' Boxes: Inventory management may undergo another change as speculative shipping of packages to destinations and re-routing them as per proximity to prospects happens on the go. So keep your doors ready.
