COVID-19 has not treated retailers equally. Companies that sell necessities , like Amazon and Walmart, have surged while those selling non-essentials have tanked. Malls have closed while e-Commerce has taken off. Contact is out; contactless is in. Some retail supply chains broke; others didn’t. Pandemics beget change and COVID-19 is no exception. Alibaba was a small B2B site prior to SARS, then became an e-Commerce giant. Since COVID, Chinese delivery app Meituan Dianping began using autonomous vehicles to deliver Beijing groceries in February. IKEA bought an augmented reality firm to enhance room visualization and Publix markets sped up contactless payment rollout in April. REI began curbside pickup and zero-contact bike shop services in May. Whatever changes you need to make or visualize for e-Commerce or traditional retail, MOSIMTEC can help.
