CollectPlus has introduced mobile to its parcel collection service in a move the delivery business says will speed up consumers’ transactions.
Customers who have a WAP-enabled mobile or smartphone can now present a collection code, sent to their mobile phone in the form of a barcode, to the shopkeeper, cutting down the time taken to make their collection.
Neil Ashworth, chief executive of CollectPlus, said: “CollectPlus is constantly looking to provide its customers with a personalised and streamlined solution to collecting their online purchases. The convenience stores and petrol stations in our network are carefully chosen because they are close to where our customers live and work, allowing them to easily incorporate picking up a parcel into their everyday routine.
“The new collection code is a fantastic time-saving innovation, developed in conjunction with the team at PayPoint, making our Click&Collect+ service even quicker and easier to use.”
CollectPlus is a joint venture between retail payment network PayPoint and parcel delivery company Yodel.
