Looking at Fintechs versus traditional banks and digital taxi platforms compared to taxi companies with in-house drivers and vehicles on the balance sheet, “Pure Players” have taken prominent positions on the global stage and are changing industries at their core. However, they also prove to be vulnerable to unexpected disruptions (like Covid-19). Some are profitable and continue to thrive, while others hold the promise of success but incur losses and see their stock prices skyrocket. With the entire world now accessible through technology, companies can achieve significant economies of scale. Fully digital business propositions (think of companies like booking.com, Uber, and many Fintech examples) appear to be the future, causing entire industries to potentially become less relevant overnight. Competition can emerge swiftly from unexpected sources, forcing companies to critically assess their business propositions and take rapid action and investments. Will these ever yield profits? More and more industries are experimenting with combinations of traditional sales channels and e-commerce. It all revolves around the efficiency of the logistics chain and maximizing website visit conversion. Expertise and knowledge play a crucial role in this.
