In Argentina. during the year 2020, the author Rabinovich, Guido deduced in his thesis entitled "E-commerce: logistics solutions for the last mile" that e-commerce benefits both the economy and lifestyle, particularly with home deliveries. This is relevant to foreign trade as online purchases can be local or international, and can be made from almost anywhere. This issue is crucial for imported products sold locally, as it represents the last step in the chain. Businessmen are beginning to recognize its importance, relevance and usefulness. Among the main barriers is the lack of general knowledge on the part of decision makers, this lack of knowledge limits the intention or ability to sell large volumes to expand or develop new markets at regional, national and international levels.
