By early June, 26 RONA and Reno-Depot corporate stores in Quebec will be equipped with pickup lockers for the retrieval of online purchases
BOUCHERVILLE, QC, May 20, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - Lowe's Canada, one of Canada's leading home improvement retailers operating or servicing some 470 corporate and affiliated stores under different banners, is launching its new contactless pickup locker service at select RONA and Reno-Depot corporate stores in Quebec. This initiative is part of Lowe's Canada's continuous efforts to provide customers with an enhanced and seamless omnichannel shopping experience.
These new pickup lockers will be installed near the entrances of select stores and be equipped with Bluetooth technology, a touchscreen, and user-friendly access instructions. Customers will be able to retrieve products they bought online within seven days of their purchase by scanning a barcode found in their order confirmation email.
"RONA and Reno-Depot's new pickup lockers are truly a win-win," said Isabelle Laliberté, Regional Vice-President, Stores for Lowe's Canada. "Customers can get what they need in a convenient, safe, and simple way. Meanwhile, our RONA and Reno-Depot store staff have an even greater capacity to focus on the in-store experience and other key areas where their expertise is needed. We're truly thrilled to bring to life innovative ideas like this across our network."
"As customers everywhere turned massively to online shopping over the past year, it became increasingly important for us to provide them with a quick and easy way to pick up their orders at their local store, without having to wait in line at the customer service desk," explained Tony Cioffi, Senior Vice-President, Stores at Lowe's Canada. "Improving the way we do business and how we serve Canadians is a constant priority at Lowe's Canada, and time was of the essence in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, with people looking to have as little contact as possible. Our IT and Operations teams did a phenomenal job bringing this project to life, working hand in hand to make this automated pickup solution available to our customers in a timely manner."
In total, 104 Lowe's, RONA, and Reno-Depot corporate stores will offer self-pickup by the end of spring 2021. Once the initial rollout phase is completed, Lowe's Canada will onboard additional corporate stores to the program and, in an effort to harmonize customer experience throughout its network, support affiliated RONA dealers who wish to install this solution in their stores.
