January 2022 | by Birthe Struffmann Source: Pexels/Anthony Beck Customers who want to order something at the moment usually have to reckon with the fact that it is not available or will not be delivered for several weeks.

However, companies have no influence on supply bottlenecks for goods and raw materials from abroad. So what can they do to keep their delivery promises and secure the loyalty of their customers?

Artificial intelligence can help improve shopping experiences in e-commerce and boost sales. But how exactly? Continue (13 vote(s), average: 4.69 out of 5)Loading...
