kaugtoode

Kaugtoode is a type of Estonian online shopping system that allows consumers to purchase goods or services from local businesses and have them delivered to their doorstep. The system was launched in the 1990s and has since become a popular way for Estonians to shop online.

The name "kaugtoode" literally translates to "distance goods" in English, which refers to the fact that the goods are delivered from a distance, typically from the business's physical location to the customer's home. The system operates by allowing businesses to list their products on a centralized website or platform, which customers can then browse and purchase from.

One of the key features of kaugtoode is its ability to connect customers with local businesses, promoting e-commerce and digital trade within the country. The system has also helped to reduce the need for physical storefronts, making it easier for small businesses to reach customers and compete with larger retailers.

Kaugtoode is not only limited to the sale of goods but also allows businesses to offer services such as deliveries, pickups, and other types of tasks. This has made it a convenient option for customers to have tasks completed for them. In recent years, the system has seen increased adoption and integration with other digital platforms, solidifying its place as a key player in Estonia's digital economy.
