Maria Stoyanova: In the gap between the promise and the operation. A beautiful interface cannot compensate for an inaccurate deadline, an unclear return or silence after a problem.

What does durable e-commerce growth mean?

Not buying revenue with processes that cannot be repeated. Margin, logistics and service must grow as one system.

Customer trust does not end with the order — that is when the promise starts being tested.
