Improved Social Monitoring
To keep a track of what customers want and how they feel about your brand, social monitoring is important, which is predicted to grow at large in 2015. This will help retailers and brands to meet customer’s demans and gain market share faster. Brands are expected to respond quicker than before to their growing customers needs and respond with end-to-end logistics flexibility.

Our Prediction: Social Media to play an important role in Ecommerce business helping retails to monitor customers needs

More Same Day Delivery
Already few known brands such as Amazon and Flipkart have started same day delivery services to grab a bigger share of the market. For brands that delivers in 3 or more days, will become difficult to meet their customers demands. Consumers will not only look for accuracy at check-out but receive their products on the same day. This is probably the biggest strategic advantage that any brick and mortar store has over online stores.

Our Prediction: Improved and faster delivery
