"Physical commerce channels may refer to brick and mortar stores, retail stores, in-person stores, amongst other physical locations which may be engaged in comm erce. In the past, these physical commerce channels may have aimed to maximize t he number of consumers within their store and/or an amount of time these consume rs spent within their store.

Physical commerce chan nels may be disadvantaged in comparison to E-commerce channels during these unce rtain events when it comes to at least, monitoring inventory, optimizing store c apacity, and/or customer safety.
