The document discusses challenges facing Indonesia's fragmented FMCG industry and opportunities for digitalization. Key challenges include 80% of retail being small, independent stores with poor transportation connectivity leading to high costs. However, COVID-19 is accelerating the shift to e-commerce and online purchasing. This presents an opportunity to digitalize the industry through a B2B e-commerce marketplace that connects wholesalers, retailers, manufacturers and distributors on a single platform. Case studies like GudangAda show best practices for digitalization include designing scalable and user-friendly systems, investing in data and APIs, and providing an omni-channel infrastructure and services to empower all stakeholders in the supply chain.
