Cape Town-based click & collect specialist Pargo has extended its network of pickup points.
More South Africans will buy into the idea of ordering online and then picking up their order from a designated point.
Some 20 years ago, British retailer Argos pioneered a new delivery method that allowed customers to order goods online and collect them from a designated pickup point. "Today we know this as click & collect, and it has become a global phenomenon. The service is used by 40% of customers in the UK, where more than 41% of physical stores are now used as click & collect locations, according to research by Barclays,” says Pargo.
Pargo estimates that its collection points now cover 87% of the country’s postal codes, and 45% of the company’s customer base lies within township and rural areas. Pargo Pickup Points are located in convenience stores across the country, including Freshstop at Caltex, selected Spar store, Clicks and Lewis stores. Other ajor retailers that use their tech include Woolworths, Edgars, The Foschini Group, Cape Union Mart and Mr Price Group.
Veul adds, “Our plugins take three minutes or less to install and configure - which means you can offer customers convenient click & collect delivery from nearly 4 000 pickup points across the country, within five minutes of signing up with Pargo. Our Pickup Point in-store application used by Pickup Point staff is an Android application built with stability and an intuitive user experience journey to ensure a seamless, hassle-free parcel collection and drop off experience.
