All around the world, trading had taken different formats. While many prefer the traditional trading, others seek for a better platform. Technological advancements birthed which in turn plays host to varieties of platforms.
Many individuals have resorted to buying products online and this has boomed the ecommerce industry. As it is today, ecommerce platforms are contributing significant chunk of revenue to the global economy.
As such, online trading platforms and ecommerce channels have been greatly utilized by a vast majority of the world populace as it provides a supposed convenient shopping. We now have many ecommerce platforms around us such as Amazon and EBay. These platforms are no doubt, popular to many and their services are unrivaled.
Ecommerce Challenges
Though thriving and having potentialities, the ecommerce industry is bedeviled by some challenges that have greatly limited its operations and scope. There have been records of fraud in the system, ranging from identity theft to diverted deliveries.
To posit the huge potentials an ecommerce industry has to offer, a research was carried out by eMarketer. The report showed that in 2016, the market value and volume of ecommerce sales amounted to about $1.86 trillion and is expected to clock an estimated $4.48 trillion by the year 2021. It can now be deduced that ecommerce plays a great role in the world economy.
Despite its seemingly “huge” potentials and positive prospects, the ecommerce had been facing challenges bothering on massive fraud and in most cases, credit card hacking leading to a loophole in its transparency and security.
Online payment frauds are continuously growing and this poses a great challenge to ecommerce merchants. Highlights of a released study from 1WorldSync states that about 45% of merchants and suppliers have lost over $1 million worth of revenue and this came about in the course of their integrating cross-channel capabilities to their commerce strategies.
There seems a light at the end of the tunnel as Omnitude is set to take the centre change and offer a whole new approach to the ecommerce platform.
