The pick up point can be completely automated, serviced by staff or a combination of these

ZeeMachine - automated pick up point

An automated pick up locker is an opportunity for the store to improve the customer experience and expand the business beyond the opening hours and store premises.

The temperature controlled pick up locker improves the functionality and attractiveness of the premises for business operators and housing associations alike.

ZeeLive - service pick up point

A service pick up point is a customer service station where the customer can pick up their online order without having to even get out of their car.

Automated pick up points

An automated pick up point enables the expansion of the store’s business in a way that suits the customer’s everyday life. By placing an automated pick up locker next to the store, collections can take place outside of opening hours.

  • ZeeVending can be connected to any automated locker, so the buyer is never vendor locked by one supplier. The equipment supplier can be tendered if necessary.

Pick up is an efficient and well-suited way for the customer to make purchases for everyday life. According to S Group, one of the biggest retail chains in Finland, 58% of their customers choose pick up rather than home delivery.

Additional modules for automated pick up

ZeeMobile - Mobile Interface

ZeeMobile allows you to monitor the status of the locker on a mobile device. With mobile UI the locker can be filled even when there are customers using the locker’s own user interface. The mobile interface works great with wall lockers that can be filled from the back.

ZeeStaff cloud service - efficiency for customer service

It is beneficial to manage even a single automatic pick up locker through a centralized cloud service. Managing several compartments centrally makes the work much more efficient. The information is automatically transmitted to the lockers. The employees responsible for managing them are provided with an up-to-date picture of the current state and history of the pick ups. If necessary, the personnel can add extra time for pick ups and the doors can be opened remotely through the service.

ZeePad - sign in tool

Easy-to-use keyboard allows the customer to notify the pick up point upon arrival. The keyboard can be placed outside in a suitable location, and entering the code can open a barrier or an automatic door.

Service pickup points

A service pickup point is a customer service station where the customer can pick up their order from the customer service representative. The ZeeLive service communicates with the customer and informs them when the order is ready to collect, and the customer can announce their time of arrival using the web based service. The customer service representative can thus organize the delivery logistics efficiently and minimize the time the customer has to use at the pick up station.

ZeeLive - the cloud service for a service point 

ZeeLive tools enable building a pick up service point even without initial investments. With the system, it is possible to replace the cumbersome manual practices of collection.

The ZeeLive web service creates an overview of upcoming orders for customer service representatives. The system asks customers for a notification of arrival, so products can be retrieved from the warehouse beforehand and in this way, optimize the logistics.
