Will You Be at Freshworks' E-Commerce Bootcamp 2020?

At LateShipment.com, we are excited to announce that we will be a part of the “E-Commerce Bootcamp” being organized by Freshworks on the 25th of September, 2020 and supported by industry behemoths such as Shopify, PayPal, SurveyMonkey, Unicommerce, and Parcel Hub.

DATE: SEPTEMBER 25 (FRIDAY)

SESSION 1: 11 AM–12 PM (PT) | 2 PM–3 PM (ET)

SESSION 2: 12 PM–1 PM (PT) | 3 PM–4 PM (ET)

E-Commerce Bootcamp is a series of Ask Me Anything (AMA) sessions that seek to encourage e-tailers to transform their existing business while also encouraging traditional brick-and-mortar retail stores to bolster their online presence, especially in the current uncertain economic climate.

Here’s Why You Should Be a Part

2020 has been a challenging year for the world of retail and e-commerce. The COVID-19 pandemic, in particular, has forced organizations to rethink the way they do business.

A recent report by IBM states that the pandemic has accelerated the shift to digital shopping by roughly 5 years ; the same report also indicates that by 2020, department stores will decline by 60%, while e-commerce will grow by nearly 20%.This indicates that you need to bring your digital A-game to the fore in order to stand out in an already crowded online e-commerce environment.

Of particular importance is how you handle the moments after buyers hit the “BUY” button on your website. Studies during the pandemic show that post-purchase customer experience has taken a big hit as a result of shipping carriers straining to meet increased parcel-delivery demand. This doesn’t bode well for businesses like yours, especially at a time when customers are more dependent than ever on online commerce.

If your business has been impacted by the pandemic, these interactive sessions will provide you the opportunity to have your pressing concerns and questions addressed by subject matter experts. You will also have access to rare insights to help you optimize and scale-up your workflows in light of the present circumstances.

Who Are These Sessions For?

These bootcamp sessions are tailored toward anyone working in an e-commerce environment or looking to transition their business online from brick-and-mortar (brick to click).

Retail Leaders Who Should Attend

Management teams: CEOs / Founders
Operations: COOs, Operations Managers
Supply-chain leaders: Logistics Managers, Shipping Managers
