E-commerce in the Agri sector

Electronic commerce (E-commerce) is a business model that allows buyers to acquire goods and/or services over the internet from the comfort of their home or workplace. Thanks to e-commerce, almost everything can be purchased on the web starting from clothes and home appliances to custom-made vehicles and industrial equipment. E-commerce has transformed the way people do business in different sectors, including the Agriculture sector.

For Australian farmers e-commerce is a key ally to find quality products for their crops and animals at competitive prices. In this article Calliope Rural Traders, Calliope branch, will outline some of the benefits that e-commerce brings to your business.

Increased productivity

Working in the agriculture space is very time-consuming, most of this time is lost going back and forth to the “bricks and mortar” stores. Usually, you would just go to you entrusted shop, but sometimes the items you need are not in stock, so off you go to another store, time continues passing by, and before you know it’s already the end of the day. E-commerce allows you to browse our store from the comfort of your home or office and so saves you time. What’s truly beneficial is that you get to choose the shipping method that best suits your needs be it “click and collect” or delivery to your door. You can then re-allocate your saved time to do another job or just have a seat and relax whilst your order gets to you.

Competitive pricing

E-commerce also helps us to help you. By carrying out transactions online, suppliers in the Agro sectors cut on considerable high costs like inventorying/stocking items in our physical shop as well as distribution costs. As more orders are shipped from the warehouse directly to our customers, we can offer you even more competitive prices. Our bulk-buy option is a prime example of this, click here to find out more.
