Interim Management: Retail and e-commerce secure growth and innovation

Retail and e-commerce are key economic sectors in Germany. Brick-and-mortar retail makes a significant contribution to gross domestic product and secures millions of jobs. E-commerce has become much more important in recent years; sales growth between 2017 and 2022 was an impressive 69%. No wonder, as over 84% of the German population regularly shop online, which not only boosts consumption but also drives innovations such as artificial intelligence and omnichannel strategies. These technologies significantly improve the efficiency of processes and customer satisfaction. E-commerce also promotes the expansion of the logistics and infrastructure sectors, as the demand for fast and flexible supply chains increases. As a result, retail and e-commerce not only secure jobs, but also Germany's competitiveness on a global level. These sectors are indispensable for the country's economic stability and sustainable growth.
