The need to maintain social distancing and avoid leaving home has literally turned consumer habits on their head, giving an important boost to e-commerce, which, according to the latest estimates from Consorzio Netcomm, will grow by 55% worldwide, and in Italy alone, has seen a three-fold increase in new online consumers between January and May 2020.
 
Having overcome the mental block of online shopping, people have actually discovered the advantages in this new way of doing the shopping, defining the contours of a new scenario, rich in opportunities also for the world of distribution logistics, to which Transpotec Logitec 2021, in line with market evolution, will devote particular attention.
 
The event, through the solutions on display and in-depth training, will stimulate an open discussion and a shared vision on the evolution of the Italian logistics system and the challenges of the future, describing the opportunities and perspectives of a sector whose development gambles on its ability to evolve in parallel with new consumer needs.
 
Distribution logistics will have to prove, by coping with an increase in volumes, the number of deliveries, the request for a fast&green delivery, its role as an “e-commerce engine”, its strategic function, but also reflect on how wrong choices or inefficient solutions can be a deterrent to the buying process itself.
 
The speed and reliability of delivery and the simplicity of the returns process, according to a survey carried out by Netcomm in February / March 2020, play an important role in the choice to buy online.
 
This is why green solutions linked to the latest mile, infrastructure development, urban logistics and digital solutions will be at the centre of the debate during the event.
 
 
The development of e-commerce is triggering a real revolution, redesigning logistics chains, giving new impetus to transport and delivery systems, inviting new considerations on warehouse structures, regulations and customs and tax systems.
 
In the field of logistics, in short, the success and sustainability of every e-commerce initiative is a gamble, but also the development of new services, new players and new business models.
