Pick Up In Store
Creating A FASTER, MORE EFFICIENT PICKING PROCESS
The significant increase in ecommerce sales over the past decade has given rise to entirely new shopping experiences – and expectations. From same-day delivery to augmented reality shopping apps, innovative retailers continue to find new ways of reaching consumers beyond traditional brick-and-mortar locations.
And if there’s one thing we know about consumer behavior, it’s that convenience matters.
Enter click and collect – a retail shopping trend that has been growing in popularity. With click and collect order fulfillment (also called buy online pickup in store, or BOPIS), the customer purchases items on a retailer’s website and then picks them up curbside or in-store – no checkout lines and no waiting for a package to be delivered.
We can provide the right material handling equipment and devise the right implementation strategy to help run a smooth click and collect operation.

Creating A FASTER, MORE EFFICIENT PICKING PROCESS
The arrival of COVID-19 and its associated public health concerns has accelerated the growth in a shopping experiences to the point where offering click-and-collect is not merely a convenience – it's necessary to remain in business.
There are many facets to an effective click-and-collect program. At a minimum, an efficient click-and-collect program requires three essential components – picking, staging and pickup.
See how Cannon can help improve your program's effectiveness.
1. Picking
Dispatching team members throughout a store to hunt down items for individual orders is horribly inefficient. Instead, consider batching orders so that multiple items can be collected in a single pass or dividing your picking team into zones to reduce travel time.
2. Staging
Retailers must now contend with traditional inventory management concerns such as space and accessibility. Specialized staging equipment such as cabinets, shelves and dividers can help keep the retail space tidy and inviting for both in-store and click and collect customers.
3. Pickup
While it is tempting to combine order pickup with other departments such as the returns or registry desk, remember that click and collect customers are hyper-focused on certain needs – namely speed and accuracy. And don’t miss out on the opportunity for cross-selling in the pickup area.
