adriens💭 forwords : "From grocery to supermarkets"
In a few words : you cannot hope for people to use and pay for your APIs and put your digital products & strategy to the next level if you don't showcase them in a proper place : the "developer portal".
Picture taken 17 February 1963 of Edouard Leclerc the French businessman in front of the first butcher's shop he opened in Paris. E. Leclerc wants to reform the distribution system in selling goods at wholesale prices, [...].
In the 80's Leclerc owns over 130 superstores, 350 supermarkets and about 50 specialized shops (sportswear, clothes, do-it-yourself, agricultural equipments stores). Moreover he his the biggest oil distributor in France after the national distributors.
💡 It's all about Customer empowerment
👉 Metaphorically, in the past people were going to the grocery and were asking to an agent to pick the products for themselves.
The disruption came when Edouard Leclerc empowered customers so they could choose, carry and even pay by themselves.
This is what we want to achieve in the digital era : putting self service as much as possible. Everywhere.
