The data are from the Brazilian Electronic Commerce Association (ABComm), which still predicts that the sector will exceed R$ 205.11 billion by the end of December. Given this new consumer behavior, technologies focused on bringing more practicality and convenience are popular, as is the case of smart cabinets, free translation into English smart lockers.
According to Elton Matos, founding partner and CEO of Airlocker, the first Brazilian franchise of fully self-managing smart cabinets, the differentials of the solution in everyday life are flexibility and security. “With innovation, time is no longer a problem for condominium residents or goers of commercial complexes, who now have the freedom to withdraw their orders at the time that best fits into the routine, without depending on the availability of the deliverymen.In addition, the initiative avoids episodes of misplacement or breakage of the” items, he says.
Thinking about helping consumers to take full advantage of the potential of smart lockers, the executive made a practical guide for those who will use the solution for the first time.check below:
The key to delivery is the code
In smart cabinets, access to the order happens through a code or QR Code sent by email or text message, which will act as a password to open and remove the item.“The technology is designed to simplify the consumer experience. With a simple scan or typing of a code, you can quickly and safely pick up the product”, explains the expert.
You don't have to race against the clock
Unlike other delivery methods, the solution works 24 hours, seven days a week. “No need to worry about business hours or depend on someone to receive the order. Enjoy the autonomy”, reveals Matos.
Keep your secret, protect your code
The code or QR Code for the withdrawal of deliveries is sent only to the user responsible for access. Guaranteeing its confidentiality is essential to keep the items intact.“A security is a fundamental pillar of innovation. Therefore, access to the content is restricted, but it is the responsibility of the user not to share it with third parties”, reinforces the executive.
In addition to the above tips, the expert also indicates a point of attention for condominiums: the size of the door.“Today in the market there are a variety of smart cabinets.Inclusive, those that have a greater number of doors, but of smaller size, bringing operational problems to consumers. It is interesting that residential complexes give preference to lockers of larger doors and varying sizes. In this way, it increases the chance of most condominiums to have their needs met”, points the CEO.
