Robotic vs classic

Although robotic and classic pickup machines serve the same purpose, their structure is completely different.

The use of a robotic arm inside brings a lot of advantages which make automated click & collect solutions highly efficient for e-commerce, convenient for users and friendly for the environment.

Parcel Lockers

Classic technology

Classic parcel lockers with a capacity comparable to robotic parcel lockers

take up much
more space

So they make it impossible to rapidly build a dense pickup network because of the limited number of adequate locations

If placed in stores - would have a very limited capacity, not high enough to deliver a “hub effect”

To build a network - you have to search only for places with vast space - like train / subway stations

PickupHero

Robotic technology

Robotic parcel lockers due to their very low commercial footprint can be used to

build a vast
pickup network

in cities like NY, London or Paris by using existing small locations

Thanks to their high capacity they create a “hub effect”, delivering a significant number of orders

It is enough for a logistical partner to sign agreements with retail / commercial networks (eg. of convenience stores)
