Coronavirus, working from home, and lockdowns have boosted online retail as it has forced consumers to buy online. We are joined by André Brown, the founder and CEO of Advanced Commerce, a new firm that provides business with services to shift online.

Brown discusses the current trends and challenges in the sector, including ’the elephant in the room’ - Amazon that takes a massive share of the business. He says the e-commerce is becoming more and more competitive as there are low entry barriers and big opportunities.
