The small business ecosystem in Brazil is booming. Between January and May of this year, the country saw the opening of 2.21 million new businesses, the vast majority (97%) of which are individual micro-entrepreneurs (MEI), micro-enterprises (ME), and small businesses (EPP). This number represents a 24.9% increase compared to the same period last year and highlights the strength of independent entrepreneurship. For many of them, who work in the sale of clothing, cosmetics, or electronics, delivery logistics is one of the main challenges.
In this scenario, smart lockers emerge as strategic allies. Lockers allow the seller to deposit merchandise in a secure location for the customer to pick up at a time that is most convenient, without the need for face-to-face meetings or expensive shipping costs. This flexibility not only optimizes the seller's operation but also improves the shopping experience, a crucial factor for customer loyalty.
“Our mission is to democratize access to cutting-edge logistics. Small business owners no longer need to worry about having a physical space or coordinating their schedules with their clients' for deliveries,” explains Gabriel Peixoto, CEO of Meu Locker. “By using a smart locker, they offer a professional, secure service available 24/7. This not only solves a logistical problem but also adds value to their brand and puts them on an equal footing with larger businesses,” he concludes.
