Grocery Drive Thru
StrongPoint’s Drive Thru solution, often referred to as curbside pick-up, is made for grocery retailers to have an efficient pick-up solution for placing online orders in the cars of customers. Our system combines license plate recognition with StrongPoint’s e-commerce software, making it possible to alert staff which order is to be delivered when a customer drives up to the store.
High capacity
If you have sufficient parking space, you will get an extraordinary capacity for pick-up at your store using StrongPoint’s solution. Furthermore, the efficiency minimizes queues.
Save time
With StrongPoint’s solution staff are alerted whenever a customer drives up to the store, saving time spent on identifying the customer and their corresponding order.
More control of orders
As the order is connected to the license plate in our system, it is easy to see which order belongs to which car. Minimizing the risk of human error.
Improve the customer experience
Arguably the best customer experience in terms of pick-up is to drive up to the store, have someone put the bags in your car for you, and then drive off again.
The best customer experience, as fast as possible
Curbside pick-up can be labour intensive, and can also create queues on the parking lot. However, when done efficiently and accurately, it can give a great customer experience and quickly dispatch a huge number of online orders.

License plate recognition
When the customer is placing their order, we simply allow them to write down their license plate. When they arrive at the store, a camera connected to our solution picks up the license plate and alerts the store staff which customer has arrived and which order belongs to that car.
Orders displayed on screen inside
A screen should be placed in the fulfillment area of the store with StrongPoint’s e-commerce program running. On the screen the staff will get a full overview over which customers have arrived and the orders they have placed. As orders are delivered the screen will clear them.
Customer communication
The customers will automatically get an SMS when their order is ready to be collected and they will receive all necessary information such as address and store name.
