The document discusses how mobile commerce is expanding beyond traditional online retail sites to allow discovery and purchase across a wider range of platforms. It provides examples of startups like Browsy, Soldsie, and Pixbi that enable shoppers to discover, save, and purchase products found on social media platforms like Pinterest, Facebook, and magazines. The document advocates for retailers to make their products shoppable anywhere consumers spend time and to provide one-click options to easily add items to carts. It also suggests leveraging add-on services to expand into new areas and catering to consumer showrooming behaviors.
This document provides an overview and analysis of e-commerce agility across 82 brands. It examines how quickly brands are adapting to changes in the retail landscape based on the type of e-commerce platform they use. Key findings show that while the platform is important, it must be considered together with a brand's existing resources and growth plans. The study defines e-commerce agility and measures it based on dynamic content creation, integration of new technologies, and ease of entering new markets. It finds that cloud-based platforms generally support higher agility, though customized on-premise solutions can also be successful depending on a brand's focus and finances. Financial performance is also correlated with platform choice and agility.

Smarter Aviation Data Management: Lessons from Swedavia Airports and SwecoSafe Software
油
Managing airport and airspace data is no small task, especially when youre expected to deliver it in AIXM format without spending a fortune on specialized tools. But what if there was a smarter, more affordable way?
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how Sweco partnered with Swedavia, the Swedish airport operator, to solve this challenge using FME and Esri.
Learn how they built automated workflows to manage periodic updates, merge airspace data, and support data extracts all while meeting strict government reporting requirements to the Civil Aviation Administration of Sweden.
Even better? Swedavia built custom services and applications that use the FME Flow REST API to trigger jobs and retrieve results streamlining tasks like securing the quality of new surveyor data, creating permdelta and baseline representations in the AIS schema, and generating AIXM extracts from their AIS data.
To conclude, FME expert Dean Hintz will walk through a GeoBorders reading workflow and highlight recent enhancements to FMEs AIXM (Aeronautical Information Exchange Model) processing and interpretation capabilities.
Discover how airports like Swedavia are harnessing the power of FME to simplify aviation data management, and how you can too.
