If anything, the virulent coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the potential of e-commerce to the world. A higher penchant for online shopping can already be seen amongst the customers, which is expected to rise even further in the coming months. As a result, an Omnichannel route has become an indispensable part of fashion, more now than ever and even the most prosperous of brick-and-mortar stores have now been forced to experiment with digital channels.
