- Esther Kestenbaum Prozan is the Chief Revenue Officer of Flowspace, an ecommerce fulfillment platform that helps brands meet their customers’ post-purchase expectations.
- Joe and Esther discussed the omni-channel fulfillment network …..and with the increasingly high expectations of brands and their customers, it must be a NETWORK of fulfillment nodes located close to the end customer.
- For ecommerce brands, the bar has risen as ecommerce customers now expect a superior direct-to-consumer (DTC) experience for the following reasons:
- Amazon created and delivers a wonderful customer experience that leverages both technology and operational excellence.
