Abstract
There is currently a paradigm shift taking place in the commercial environment on a global scale, where the focus has moved away from platform-based or centralized e-commerce towards more hyper-localized digital marketplaces. This paradigm shift involves an unbundling of the functions involved in the conventional value chain of the commerce industry, including discovery, ordering, fulfillment, and payment, which are now performed by a variety of entities rather than a single monolithic entity. E-commerce companies that dominated the industry before had the advantage of economies of scale and large warehouses with diverse products offered at low prices due to high volumes. The years 2020 to 2025 were influenced heavily by the global coronavirus disease pandemic, which led to a revolution in the digital world by bringing the concept of neighborhood shops into focus. This period witnessed O2O, or Online to Offline commerce, through which local physical retailers used digital technology to provide goods to consumers within their locality faster and more conveniently than ever. The present paper discusses the scholarly literature available on this topic, the methodology to be applied, the technology being used, which includes the Beck protocol, among other issues.
