Introduction

In the era of digital transformation, both purchasing agent platforms and e-commerce platforms have become integral parts of the global retail ecosystem. The timeliness and accuracy of logistics distribution play a crucial role in ensuring customer satisfaction and maintaining competitive advantage. This research aims to compare and analyze the logistics performance of these two types of platforms, focusing on delivery speed and order accuracy.

Discussion

The findings suggest that e-commerce platforms have invested more heavily in logistics infrastructure, enabling faster and more reliable deliveries. Purchasing agents, on the other hand, often rely on third-party logistics providers, which can introduce variability in delivery performance. However, purchasing agents excel in niche markets, where their specialized knowledge allows for more accurate product sourcing and fulfillment.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while e-commerce platforms lead in overall logistics performance, purchasing agents offer unique advantages in specific markets. Future research should explore the impact of emerging technologies, such as AI and blockchain, on further improving logistics efficiency and accuracy in both types of platforms.
