In the opinion of the Mexican company EnvíoClick, in 2019 e-commerce is expected to continue to grow and more small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) join online sales to grow their businesses.

In this sense, one of the biggest challenges and a key factor in the success of online stores is the logistics operation, given the impact, it generates on the experience of its customers and, consequently, on the business.

Therefore, it is important not to lose sight of having a strong logistics, or with a partner that can provide it and meet the needs of the business, recommends EnvíoClick, the main logistics platform that supports Mexican companies in electronic commerce.

It highlights that SMEs have a great potential for use and application of electronic commerce, “unfortunately it is the lack of knowledge of the subject which makes many still do not make the leap to the electronic platform.”

However, only 10 percent have an online platform, according to official data.
