Covid-19 has pushed companies over the technology tipping point — and transformed business forever.
Companies have accelerated the digitisation of their customer and supply-chain interactions and of their internal operations by years. It is believed that the share of digital or digitally enabled products in their portfolios has accelerated by as much as seven years. To stay competitive in this new business and economic environment requires new strategies and practices.
ECOM Africa explores strategies and tactics in e-commerce business operations, store design and optimisation, fulfilment and logistics, payments and security, and marketing and brand building.
Prepare your team for the next big wave in digital commerce, by hearing from industry leaders such as George Mienie, the CEO of AutoTrader, as he shares his insights on why businesses need to be prepared to keep shifting toward this new eCommerce reality. The sheer number of consumers who want to purchase online will change how businesses must operate, and infrastructures will need to adjust.
In addition you will have the opportunity to hear from Hanz Rauch, head of digital product for online at Woolworths, as he shares a highlight reel of the Woolies context, what agile product management is, and how this transformation is happening in the impacted areas.
