财富500强公司的10项革命性技术

eBay Now 买家当天就可以拿到在互联网或者移动网络上购买的物品，这是个非常诱人的想法。亚马逊将提供大范围当日送达服务的传闻继续四处传播；谷歌宣布了Google Shopping Express；沃尔玛可能推出众包快递计划，让顾客为在线买家运送物品。而eBay与塔吉特（Target）、家得宝（Home Depot）和城市旅行者（Urban Outfitters）等零售商合作推出eBay Now一小时送达服务，涵盖了从保健品到睡衣裤的各种商品。虽然该服务仅限于美国的3座城市，但CEO约翰•多纳霍（John Donahoe）已经表达了让eBay Now无处不在的雄心。“报业公司找上我，说，‘我们拥有那些货车。我们运送报纸，但那些货车在早上8点过后就不用了。因此，我们有司机，有空置的货车。我们能帮忙送货吗？’”多纳霍在今年早些时候对《财富》（Fortune）杂志说。 |
eBay Now The idea that buyers can get their online or mobile purchases same-day is tantalizing. Rumors of Amazon doing widespread same-day shipping continue to circulate; Google announced Google Shopping Express; and Wal-Mart may offer a crowd-sourced delivery plan to have its own customers deliver items to online buyers. With eBay Now, eBay has partnered with retailers like Target, Home Depot, and Urban Outfitters, to offer one-hour shipping on everything from health supplements to pajamas. And though it's only available in three U.S. cities, CEO John Donahoe has expressed ambitions of having eBay Now be ubiquitous. "I've had newspaper companies come to me and say, we have all these trucks. We deliver these newspapers, and these trucks don't get used after 8 a.m. in the morning. So we have drivers, and we have empty trucks. Can we help deliver?" Donahoe told Fortune earlier this year. |
