There is no doubt in the fact that Internet-Based retail has actually affected the Global Distribution Channels because with internet retail that is ecommerce the global distribution channel has actually been developed and become important. Virtually when we purchase a product it may happen that the product actually may travel from a different state or city and this is what has made the global distribution channel important because customers today prefer convenience and ecommerce has given them that quite easily and I believe that this has had a positive impact on various aspects of a business and the global distribution channel is one of them.
I believe that the ecommerce giants generally rely on global distribution channels so that the products that they are looking for is supplied to them wherever and whenever required and that is how ecommerce works and the global distribution channels work. The global distribution channel has improved in speed, and performance because initially they were quite laid back. technically also the channels have improved because they are now able to track and monitor their shipments and even contact the respective individuals who are involved in the process. I believe that such factors have contributed to this aspect and the process has actually become better.
