Why Brands Should Consider FutureSoft’s O2O Platform

Traditional brands face several challenges in scaling their e-commerce businesses.

Channel Conflict

Offline sales contribute to 80-90% of overall business revenues, and aggressive promotions on e-commerce lead to backlash from channel partners. This leads brands to hold back investments from online channels.

Inventory Management

Most brands rely on a single warehouse to service e-commerce orders. A single point of storage can lead to significant bottlenecks, delays, and increased shipping costs. Additionally, the risk of stockouts or excess inventory is heightened, impacting customer satisfaction and overall operational efficiency.

High shipping Costs and Timelines

The high cost of shipping, coupled with long shipping timelines, can deter potential customers and impact overall customer satisfaction. Shipping goods over large distances can also lead to higher product damage.

FDI Regulations in India

As per Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) regulations, foreign brands operating in India cannot sell directly to consumers. This also extends to online stores.
