\n When you need to manage in-store eCommerce order preparation, returns and click & collect pickup\n <\/h2>\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

In omnichannel retail, the store is no longer just a place to sell products. It has become a pickup point, an urban logistics node, and a proximity service hub for customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click & collect, order pickup, order preparation and returns management require infrastructure that goes beyond a simple locker: accessible 24\/7, integrated with sales systems and able to manage items of different types and sizes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

With ICAM automated solutions, retailers can organise intelligent pickup points, proximity logistics and in-store storage: every item is tracked and accessible within seconds, 24\/7 and without fixed staffing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike traditional lockers, items are delivered directly to the logistics operator or the end customer, reducing waiting times and improving service levels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

From e-commerce order preparation to returns handling and in-store pickup services, including urban micro-fulfillment hubs.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n Retailers and store chains<\/span>
\r\nClick & collect and in-store order pickup\n <\/h2>\n \n
\n More and more retailers now offer click & collect and in-store pickup. Organising parcels and online orders without taking up sales floor space or adding workload for staff requires dedicated infrastructure, not a corner of the stockroom.
\r\n
\r\nWith ICAM automated solutions, click & collect becomes automated, tracked and accessible 24\/7. Customers can collect their orders independently within seconds, with no waiting and no dependence on staff availability, through a consistent experience at any time of day. \n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n

\n Retail networks and franchises
\r\nProximity logistics and stores as an omnichannel network\n <\/h2>\n \n
\n Retail networks distributed across the territory can evolve into real urban distribution nodes and retail micro-fulfilment points. For retailers, however, the store is an important extension of the brand: logistics must work invisibly, without interfering with the in-store experience.

ICAM automated solutions make it possible to integrate order pickup and returns management into the retail network, while maintaining operational control and a high-quality customer experience.\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n

\n Urban stores and proximity retail formats
\r\nOptimised backroom, more space for sales\n <\/h2>\n \n
\n In urban stores, every square metre has value. The backroom is often undersized: incoming parcels, returns and items build up, taking space away from sales and slowing down staff who have to search for them manually.
\r\n
\r\nWith ICAM automated solutions, you turn the backroom into a profitable, perfectly organised space: fast access to items, tracked management of incoming and outgoing parcels, and floor space freed up for the sales area.\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n
