Explanation:

e-commerce is a short for electronic commerce and it can be defined as a marketing strategy that deals with meeting the needs of consumers, by selling products or services to the consumers over the internet.

This ultimately implies that, e-commerce is strictly based on the buying and selling of goods or services electronically, over the internet or through a digital platform.

Online retailing is a form of e-commerce which avails consumers to directly search, choose and remotely purchase goods or services from a seller or service provider over the internet through the use of a software application or web browser.

However, the goods or services purchased through online retailing is delivered physically to the location or address provided by a consumer (customer).

Generally, the orders placed by a consumer through online retailing is usually much larger but in smaller quantities when compared with the orders chosen in an in-store retailing.

Therefore, an order management system with the capacity to handle high volume of orders is necessary and requisite for online retailing, through the use of an open-case picking such as push carts or totes for consumers.

Hence, online retailing usually favor transport or logistics companies having extensive delivery networks and expertise in parcel shipments due to the smaller order quantities associated with online retailing.
