How SuiteCommerce Smoothes the Way for Ecommerce Companies

by Steven Cariglia Content Writer

Introduced to the world about four decades ago in the form of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) and EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer), ecommerce has come a long way, today becoming a way of life for millions around the world. According to current figures, ecommerce expenditure will touch $5 trillion by 2020, indicative of 13% of the total payment transactions. While it enjoys such explosive growth, ecommerce faces a few challenges on the way.

Challenges:

Today, consumers are shopping on multiple channels and expect seamless switching amongst devices and between ‘real’ shops and virtual ones. This is especially true for younger consumers who constantly rely on mobile devices to facilitate the shopping experience.
Customers also anticipate highly personalized and enjoyable shopping experiences.
The need for safe and secure transactions is always a priority for online shoppers.
For the above reasons, ecommerce traders need to put in place KPIs unique to their business needs and customer preferences.
They need to monitor customer behavior and gather data; they also need to scrutinize third-party vendors.
