G2K Report in discussion

This session gives an update on the retailers tracked in the UK’s Growth2000 report. Here we look at the growth-sector retailers and brands who are not yet in the Top500 reports, and our ranking focused upon growth-related performance – their traffic, retail footprint, social media and mobile use and their search visibility.

The G2K retailers have been heralded as the ‘growth engine’ of the UK economy, but this is our first opportunity to look at some facts about how they survived (or thrived?) during Lockdown, and how Brexit has impact the sector. Come July we will already be wondering how a post-pandemic peak season might look (assuming it’s ‘post-pandemic’ and that there’s even such a thing as peak!) – we’ll consider the option, the growth trajectories and some exemplars.

eDelivery - 6 things retailers should be and need to be doing

After the most testing year for professionals in supply chain, operations, logistics and delivery, we can celebrate the resilience and performance of the sector. The fact that systems could cope with months of greater-than-peak activity as well as significant shifts in activity is a testament to the decade of infrastructure and operational investment. However, there’s no imminent return to a “normal” and so in this session we consider what areas of investment today are going to give us the performance and resilience we need tomorrow.

In this session our experts will consider 6 areas of innovation and development that will sustain the capabilities of the sector. We will look at:

  • sustainability in the supply chain – product procurement, traceability, transparency
  • kerb-side experience – delivery, pickup for returns, collaboration on routes, electric vehicles and city-centre zoning
  • new partnership – from John Lewis adding brands and opening click and collect; the Coop partnering with Deliveroo, Pinga and Buymie, or AO.com offering delivery to other retailers, we are seeing new partnerships in logistics. What’s the direction of travel?
  • warehouse management – what are the recent changes in stock management and service
  • international and cross-border – between the pandemic and Brexit we have been looking for new markets while struggling to fulfil in markets that were previously not a challenge.

What is the latest on capabilities, trends and innovation?

  • data and integration – the move towards more open, flexible and interoperating architectures continues apace, and in the cyclical renewal of the supply chain technologies we’re seeing an increased use of more modular approaches – with an increased use of and access to data. We’ll look at some examples of retailers taking full advantage of this trend.

It’s a brisk session that will link to further research from RetailX, eDelivery and InternetRetailing.

We’re open for questions in the run-up to the session, so please send any questions to us here

2021 European Ecommerce Report - Launch

Each year since 2016 we have researched and analysed the European market. During this time the story has been one of continued growth: more consumers adopting online, more retailers and brands embracing digital selling and throughout an increase in sophistication and competitiveness. The European market has been the world’s most mature and competitive market for some while.

However, the systemic shocks of 2020 – COVID, Brexit, populism – alongside a growing focus upon sustainability, representation and authenticity, mean that 2021 is a substantially different year.

In our session we’ll consider how retailers have weathered these shocks and whether there’s been a ‘reset’ of European eCommerce, or simply a pothole on the road. We’ll let the facts do most of the the talking, along with a preview of the report and ample case studies and charts.

Brands on Marketplaces Report

Our research has shown that brands see marketplaces as a vital component of their direct-to-consumer strategies. This webinar will share our research and will be split in two. The first part will consider the efforts that Marketplaces are making to attract brands – what are the capabilities, services and opportunities across Europe? The second part will look at the marketplace activities of brands and retailers, who are creating marketplaces themselves in order to appeal to the consumer.

With some case studies provided, this will be a rapid tour of an important intersection between the most-loved brands, the most-trafficked marketplaces and savvy retailers.
