The accelerated growth of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has motivated the replacement of traditional formats of commercial and social relations, has increased the volume and exchange of information, and allowed the existence of global digital integration. From a logistical point of view like FBA prep center, FBM, and so on, the ICT implementation process has not been homogeneous, nor have the results been comparable, which is attributed to strategic issues, types of activity, competitors, and costs.
Remembering the beginning of e-Business
For the largest and most important companies, the objective focused on the integration or interconnection of their internal and external flows, automation of processes, and digitalization of tasks, in other words, a combination of their logistics operations and their commercial exploitation through ICTs (and -Business). Thus, the circulation of information and connection between business partners, suppliers, employees, and of course clients, through the Internet, intranets, and extranets, would be facilitated. All of this meant increasing its hardware, software, and electronic service providers’ infrastructure, as well as hiring ICT specialists and intensifying the training offered in different areas and levels.
At that time, the purpose of e-business was focused on a systematic reduction of business costs through the adjustment and increase of the capacity of its operations, however, substantial improvements were also achieved in customer service (satisfaction, loyalty), strengthening relationships with its suppliers (speed, precision, flexibility), and of course, a positive effect was obtained on the financial performance of the organizations.
Smaller companies with less need and capacity for transformation focused on exploiting the Internet connection to sell their products (e-commerce), which meant that their customers could view, choose, order, and pay via the web. The trend, once this access and connection with customers was consolidated, focused on converting all its operations electronically, integrating its internal structure with its external operations, just as the e-business perspective proposed.
However, at the most basic levels, the delivery chain has not changed much as it must still be supported by established high-capacity services, for example, ARDI Express.
