Solution Overview

Amazon’s fast-fulfillment business model has changed the game for the retail and grocery industries. Consumers have enthusiastically embraced the ease of shopping from home, with deliveries arriving as soon as the same day.

Many brick-and-mortar have countered by enabling consumers to make purchases via an app or website and  pick up the items in store. According to a 2019 Business Insider article, 68% of U.S. consumers have made multiple click-and-collect purchases. The appeal of the buy-online, pickup-in-store (BOPIS) model represents a potential competitive edge for retailers and grocery chains. Is your organization ready to leverage mobile technology to capitalize on this opportunity?

Stratix can help. As North America’s premier enterprise mobility specialist, we focus exclusively on mobility services and have over 2 million devices under management. Our services are backed by specialized teams to architect, deploy, manage and support your mobile devices to create better customer experiences — and guarantee nonstop mobility.

Customer Challenges

The complexity of mobile transformation calls for SmartMobile programs that can help retailers and grocery chains solve BOPIS-related challenges, including:

  • Responsive support: Devices that help to drive revenue must be available whenever employees need them. Any downtime can have a negative impact on the customer experience and revenue growth. A comprehensive Day-2 support program is necessary to ensure that your mobile devices stay operational and secured — and employees can access quality support on demand.
  • Scanning capabilities: An effective BOPIS environment requires high-performing scanning hardware that is fully integrated with application software.
  • Rugged environments: You need to be confident your devices will do the job, where ever they are. They need to stay connected outside the store and operational in everything from freezing cold and snow to stifling heat and rainstorms — not to mention being subjected to the occasional drop.
  • Enterprise-wide insight: In order to monitor and analyze your mobile environment and maximize ROI, you need a comprehensive view of all corporate mobile assets, from procurement, provisioning and activation through repair, support, expense management and decommissioning.
  • Updates: Keeping your mobile devices secure and running effectively requires that you plan for, test and implement regular software updates. If your in-house team doesn’t have the bandwidth to handle these responsibilities, be sure you have a trusted partner that can.

Customer Case Study

An international grocery retailer operating in North America and Europe faced significant logistical challenges in offering adequate support for its rapidly scaling mobile ecosystem across 2,000 retail locations. The daunting task of training, end-user support, management and depot services for its users’ 10,000+ devices was too difficult to execute effectively in-house.
