財富500強公司的10項革命性技術
eBay Now ????買家當天就可以拿到在互聯網或者移動網絡上購買的物品,這是個非常誘人的想法。亞馬遜將提供大范圍當日送達服務的傳聞繼續四處傳播;谷歌宣布了Google Shopping Express;沃爾瑪可能推出眾包快遞計劃,讓顧客為在線買家運送物品。而eBay與塔吉特(Target)、家得寶(Home Depot)和城市旅行者(Urban Outfitters)等零售商合作推出eBay Now一小時送達服務,涵蓋了從保健品到睡衣褲的各種商品。雖然該服務僅限于美國的3座城市,但CEO約翰?多納霍(John Donahoe)已經表達了讓eBay Now無處不在的雄心?!皥髽I公司找上我,說,‘我們擁有那些貨車。我們運送報紙,但那些貨車在早上8點過后就不用了。因此,我們有司機,有空置的貨車。我們能幫忙送貨嗎?’”多納霍在今年早些時候對《財富》(Fortune)雜志說。 |
eBay Now ????The idea that buyers can get their online or mobile purchases same-day is tantalizing. Rumors of Amazon doing widespread same-day shipping continue to circulate; Google announced Google Shopping Express; and Wal-Mart may offer a crowd-sourced delivery plan to have its own customers deliver items to online buyers. With eBay Now, eBay has partnered with retailers like Target, Home Depot, and Urban Outfitters, to offer one-hour shipping on everything from health supplements to pajamas. And though it's only available in three U.S. cities, CEO John Donahoe has expressed ambitions of having eBay Now be ubiquitous. "I've had newspaper companies come to me and say, we have all these trucks. We deliver these newspapers, and these trucks don't get used after 8 a.m. in the morning. So we have drivers, and we have empty trucks. Can we help deliver?" Donahoe told Fortune earlier this year. |
