Albanian businesses need to adapt and take their businesses online in both business-to-consumer and business-to-business. However, various obstacles still exist. E-commerce is in its early stages, and it’s still not disseminated, especially due to the low use of credit cards, low purchasing power and the high cost of shipping.
How could businesses make use of existing and new e- commerce / omnichannel platforms? How to combine and integrate activities of different stakeholders? How to make sure that user experience is smooth from front-end to distribution and logistics? At the same time, e-commerce makes it possible for even small companies and brands to scale their offering global – what is stopping them?
