WTC Academy - From Disruption to Acceleration - Belgian E-Commerce: "on its way to a more mature market". About this event The corona crisis accelerated the rise of e-commerce, transforming the business landscape from one day to the next. Increased investment in online presence, meeting rapidly changing customer expectations, devising creative solutions to survive the crisis: every company had to adapt. So it's only logical that these were difficult times, although most managed to significantly improve the lives of their customers. And that brings them benefits in both the short and long term. 1. An unprecedented challengeOne of the most striking consequences of the crisis was the suspension of public life throughout Europe in the spring. The physical presence of businesses disappeared: some shifted their commercial activities to the web, others ceased to exist. Much of them switched to working from home for a large proportion of their staff. They had to work with new tools, equipment and processes in order to continue to work together smoothly without physical contact. 2. The digital accelerationThe corona crisis is not only disruptive but also accelerating. It has accelerated some of the changes already under way. 3. The best customer experience is 'phygitalIf you want to reassure and encourage your customers to return, you need to ensure a seamless, easy and safe shopping experience. Whether physically in the shop or on the internet via the webshop. 4. Trade of the futureThe new trading model is indispensible linked to technology. New regulations are a challenge for companies, which are demanding an even more level playing field. 5. Reason for optimismAlthough it has been difficult to stay physically at a distance, technology can bring us closer together and our customers.This is not to be missed: because the retail landscape is in full change, and you absolutely must be aware of these changes if you want to stay on course, either as a retailer/retailer or as an investor in the greatest possible sense.
