The lingering effects of the pandemic have shifted the purchasing behavior between businesses. This includes the surge of e-commerce activity, forcing many companies to adapt their digital abilities to meet this new demand. With restrictions now lifted, companies have grown accustomed to their new methods of conducting online sales. An article from Industry Today explains factors why adapting to the digital age of sales is important.
