This growth brings ever increasing competition, resulting in shrinking margins And with the advent of mobile, consumers are now demanding brick and mortar retailers to match online prices

As a result, businesses that sell packaged consumer products must now have a direct B2C channel using the internet This opens up the discussion: So where does a business start? 1 Selling thru a website presents the following challenges for any business:

• The high cost of establishing an e-commerce enabled website and back office
• Finding the right talent to manage an e-commerce operation at the right price
• The lengthy and expensive process of generating traffic to the website
• Optimizing the site to produce the highest possible conversion rate, turning viewers into buyers And when a business overcomes these challenges they face a new reality:
• To make a profit the business must achieve large scale due to the shrinking margins
• They must have an efficient pick/pack/ship operation for a large volume of packages
• They are expected to provide 24/7 (or close enough) customer service
• Their website must constantly be updated with new content, functionality and features In addition, running an online business will heavily depend on making the right decisions based on performance data Since the desired outcome is to generate a healthy bottom line, being cash flow positive is key to success, which becomes increasingly difficult

Such difficulty comes from the fact that, to grow sales you must grow the inventory But, without access to accurate financial data and effective inventory management, making the right decisions is extremely challenging

And to establish the necessary technology infrastructure with the systems, processes and comprehensive inventory management capabilities that must be present for success requires specific expertise And time
