The development of electronic commerce (e-commerce) in business logistics in Panama has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by the digitalization of companies and the growing consumer preference for online shopping. This change has led logistics companies to adapt and evolve their strategies and operations to meet the demands of the digital market. The strategic geographical position of Panama, being a key connection point between North America, South America and the Caribbean, together with the presence of the Panama Canal, has consolidated the country as an international logistics hub. This, in turn, has provided a solid foundation for the growth of e-commerce, allowing local and international companies to optimize their supply and distribution chains through this central node. With the rise of e-commerce, logistics companies in Panama have had to adapt to challenges such as real-time inventory management, fast and efficient delivery, and customization of logistics services to meet the expectations of online consumers.
This has led to the implementation of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and data analytics, to improve operational efficiency and customer experience. In addition, the growth of e-commerce has encouraged collaboration between logistics companies, e-commerce platforms and payment service providers to create integrated ecosystems that facilitate online transactions and product delivery. This includes the development of innovative logistics solutions, such as flexible collection points, last mile services and efficient returns management systems.
