Is the future of ecommerce in drone deliveries?
Getting a purchase delivered in minutes is every consumer’s dream, however this is not exactly easy to do.
When it comes to drone deliveries, the logistics are complex and intense. The regulatory hurdles are steep and while the technology might already be capable of the task, it will take time to build acceptance and trust with customers to allow drones to fly onto their property.
Despite all the obstacles of drone deliveries, the potential benefits to retailers are immense too.
Drones are fast and the latest analysis suggest that potentially each trip could occur at a low cost of $1 per shipment.
On top of this, faster shipments could mean higher revenues since 86% of abandoned carts online were the result of expensive shipping costs, according to a study carried out by McKinsey & Company.
