# E-Commerce Retailer

*/CompanyTypes/E-Commerce_Retailer*

## Digital Scalar

**Band**: hybrid
**Digital**: 0.5
**Rationale**: With no child JobTypes seeded, the scalar is derived from the company type name 'E-Commerce Retailer'. The operations of an e-commerce retailer are an inherent mix of digital knowledge work (web development, digital marketing, and order management) and physical labor (warehousing, picking, packing, and shipping physical goods), landing the composite squarely in the center of the hybrid band.
