In the modern era, the rise of purchasing platforms and e-commerce platforms has revolutionized the way consumers shop. However, the effectiveness of these platforms heavily relies on the timeliness and accuracy of their logistics delivery systems. This study aims to analyze and compare the logistics performance of purchasing platforms and traditional e-commerce platforms.
