But as it continues to gain in importance and influence, businesses must quickly solve their supply chain challenges to ensure they capture available business value.
The push to adopt and excel in ecommerce presents both challenges and opportunities for businesses that integrate e-commerce into an overarching omnichannel sales strategy.

Ecommerce has outgrown its ‘infancy’ and is rapidly moving into second-stage maturity.
At the core of this stage is an effective e-commerce supply chain that can constantly evolve and adapt to solve the challenges posed by this fast-growing business channel.
To help companies understand the imperatives for capturing business value, DHL Supply Chain conducted a global survey on the evolution of e-commerce supply chains in the B2B and B2C markets.

Respondents hailed from all the major industry sectors, including retail, consumer goods, life sciences, high tech, auto, and engineering & manufacturing.
