I think the Review Automation and Customer Feedback points will keep on gaining importance in light of the EEAT updates and the weight each line of UGC adds to the domain's overall trustworthiness. So, enticing users to get vocal about their experiences is a must.

I'd also argue that electronic filing system software is essential to help you keep track of things. Being to able to set rules and leverage the automatic routing of new PDFs and files to the correct folder is a huge time-saver. As most e-commerce businesses comprise members in various time zones, a DMS with advanced searching features and editing options is nigh essential in my opinion. Without such a system governing the daily workflows, a business will probably end up losing time on menial tasks.
