Tesco is a British multinational grocery and general merchandise retailer headquartered in Welwyn Garden City, England. It is the third-largest retailer in the world measured by gross revenues, and the ninth largest in the world measured by revenues. It has shops in five countries across Europe and is the market leader of groceries in the UK (where it has a market share of around 28.4%).
With over 7,000 stores in 11 countries, Tesco is the world’s 3rd largest retailer. In mid-2019, Tesco approached Click n Collect in order to take their UK e-commerce strategy to the next level. In order to achieve this, Tesco’s strategy was twofold:
1. Extend Tesco’s market reach beyond store location and block competitors in the online space;
2. Reduce operational costs by reducing the number of direct to home deliveries and replacing the use of labour-intensive Pods.
As the Pilot planning commenced amidst COVID, Click n Collect proved its ability to closely work with Tesco and its partners despite the global difficulties. For Tesco, Click n Collect's temperature-controlled grocery lockers needed to meet a number of bespoke requirements such as tray (tote) and paper bag order delivery and stringent courier load/customer collection process times.
Click n Collect temperature-controlled locker systems were successfully launched, and have been in operation for over 18 months. Tesco’s strategy has been fulfilled as evidenced by:
- Utilisation rates of close to 100% capacity;
- Highly positive feedback from customers and staff;
- Plan to significantly extend its locker deployment program;
- Low power consumption results;
- Rapid courier drop-off and customer collection times using Click n Collect’s Smart Phone access.
Designed to be placed indoors or outdoors, Click n Collect lockers are built to withstand the harshest conditions. We have modular options for cost-effective standard solutions AND fully customized options to cater to your business's bespoke needs.
