FMCG retailCollections at FMCG volume
High volumes, repeat trips, thin margins. eLocker lets customers collect and return on the way past, without holding up a kiosk, a colleague or the queue behind them, however the volume scales.
4 min → 10 seccolleague time per handover
The trade-off today
Without eLocker
- ×High collection volumes land on colleague time every day
- ×Kiosks and desks bottleneck at peak periods
- ×Returns add a second queue to the same counter
- ×Cost-to-serve per order keeps climbing as volumes grow
With eLocker
- Customers collect in seconds on the way past, from their phone
- Many customers collect at once, no shared screen to queue for
- Returns handled at the same lockers, off the staffed counter
- Cost per collection stays low as volumes scale, measured per store
