Amazon pioneered e-commerce, starting out in 1994 as an online bookstore, before quickly expanding into related areas such as fashion, music, consumer electronics, games, and toys. The company’s main strengths are its breadth of offerings, which span most major product categories, its delivery capabilities and its use of technology. Amazon uses AI, including machine learning, conversational platforms, and image recognition, to improve customer interactions, manage deliveries, and enhance search engine capabilities. Amazon is investing heavily in its delivery capability to meet customer demand for same-day and next-day delivery options and will likely be the first retailer to offer large-scale delivery via drones and autonomous vehicles.
