Barcelona will once again become the epicenter of eCommerce with the third edition of LogiCommerce Connect. This event has already established itself as one of the most important meeting points for the eCommerce sector in Spain, following the success of its first two editions, which brought together more than 400 attendees.

Behind this initiative is LogiCommerce, an eCommerce platform fully developed in Spain, trusted by brands such as Audi, eseOese, Muebles La Fábrica, MUNICH Sports, Timberland, Torrons Vicens, Tres Grifería, and VW.

The event will take place on May 29 at the Hotel Leonardo Royal Barcelona Fira. It will bring together B2C and B2B brands, digital agencies, technical profiles, eCommerce managers, marketing and digital transformation leaders, and any professional involved in managing and growing online channels.

The day will begin at 9:00 a.m., and the event agenda will be organized across four rooms operating simultaneously throughout the day, featuring 20- and 40-minute sessions. The content will combine success stories with key topics such as the growth of B2B eCommerce, the impact of artificial intelligence, payments, personalization, internationalization, SEO, returns management, omni-channeling, sustainability and current legal challenges.

Beyond the content, LogiCommerce Connect is committed to fostering real connections. Networking will play a central role, with dedicated spaces for attendees to exchange ideas and create new collaboration opportunities. Several networking breaks are planned throughout the day: breakfast at 11:45 a.m., lunch at 2:30 p.m., and an aperitif at 6:45 p.m. Just before the final networking session, attendees will enjoy a fun activity based on Improshow, a well-known theatrical improvisation performance in Catalonia, providing a dynamic and relaxed closing to the day's sessions.

Among the confirmed sponsors are AWS, La Latina Valley, VisibilidadOn, Reskyt, and ACCIÓ, among others, who will also share their insights on the evolution of the sector and authentic experiences through talks and roundtables.

The Barcelona City Council wants that at least 40% of online purchases to be delivered to pick-up points across the city. 

The City Council developed this objective alongside other specific requirements as a public bid to be achieved by any delivery company by the end of 2023. However, how this agreement will be enacted is still unclear.

The project has involved the authorities and 62 entities, which have established 10 goals based on a series of principles, including reducing the negative externalities of DUM (Urban Distribution of Goods), meaning reducing the impact of the urban distribution of goods. 

No more ‘to your door’ deliveries 

One of the primary goals they want to achieve is for 40% of online purchases to be delivered to collection points rather than to the consumer's door. 

The Barcelona City Council believes that the increase in online shopping has become a significant problem for the DUM and that reaching this goal could provide a solution.

This goal will bring about a network of convenience stores and locations for deliveries and pick-ups, and people will be able to pick up their parcels within 200 m of their homes. Lockers and sustainable last-mile delivery companies are increasing in Barcelona.

The rest of the goals set by the city council are:

• Increase the loading and unloading hours supply in regulated spaces by 20% and rebalance demand. Indoor market spaces for logistical work and night hours will also be expanded.

• To reduce emissions from delivery vehicles by 50 %. Conversion to more sustainable, zero-emission vehicles will be encouraged.

• Increase the number of bicycles and delivery cycles tenfold and provide urban freight service on the rail network.

• Reduce traffic accidents, casualties, and serious injuries involving delivery vehicles.

• Reduce indiscipline among DUM vehicle drivers by 60%.

• Maintain the square meters of industrial land integrated into the city that is allocated to the reception and distribution of goods.

• Create a DUM office to improve communication between consumers and distribution companies.

• Extend the SPRO application to 75% of metropolitan municipalities. It is an application to find the nearest loading and unloading zone and validate parking.

• Promote research and creation of technological and innovative solutions related to the urban distribution of goods.
