The document discusses e-logistics and e-fulfillment, which are critical functions for successful e-commerce. E-logistics applies logistics concepts electronically, while e-fulfillment ensures customer satisfaction before, during, and after online purchases. Companies can perform these functions in-house, outsource to third-party logistics providers, or use drop-shipping. Developing countries face additional challenges with e-commerce logistics due to infrastructure issues. Emerging data standards are important for integrating e-logistics and e-fulfillment software solutions.
