Mobile Barcode Technology From NetDespatch Speeds in Store Collections for CollectPlus
MARLOW, England, March 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
NetDespatch, a leading supplier of IT integration solutions for postal and parcel
carriers, has developed an innovative new barcode service for use on mobile devices to
make it easier for customers to collect parcels from in-store collection points.
Online shoppers are automatically sent a unique barcode embedded in an email or text
message when their purchases arrive in their chosen pick-up location. This barcode is then
scanned by the shopkeeper on collection, significantly reducing transaction time at the
till, securely identifying the parcel, and ensuring that the person collecting the parcel
is authorised to do so.
CollectPlus, the largest store-based parcel service in the UK, has worked in
partnership with NetDespatch and PayPoint to implement the new technology for its
Click&Collect+ service. This enables customers to collect purchases from its network of
over 5,000 convenience stores even more quickly, as they can now present the storekeeper
with a unique CollectPlus barcode sent to their mobile phone. For customers of those
retailers providing the Click&Collect+ service such as Amazon, House of Fraser, ASOS and
Very.co.uk, it has never been easier or more convenient to pick up purchases.
NetDespatch connects retailers, mail order companies and manufacturers to their postal
and parcel carriers using advanced web-based software and services. For CollectPlus,
NetDespatch provides a secure, resilient, high volume transaction processing platform that
integrates PayPoint terminals in local convenience stores with carrier tracking systems
for managing in-store parcel returns and collections.
Neil Ashworth, CEO of CollectPlus, said: "We place great importance on our ability to
provide our customers with the fastest, easiest and most secure way to collect their
online purchases. The new collection barcode developed in conjunction with the teams at
NetDespatch and PayPoint is a fantastic time-saving innovation, making our Click&Collect+
service even quicker and easier to use, so complementing the busy lives of our customers."
"Working with NetDespatch has allowed CollectPlus to continually introduce innovative
technologies as well as develop increasingly streamlined operational methods. Using our
advanced web-based systems and services, CollectPlus has broken new ground in parcel
collection, delivery and returns services and we are delighted to have enabled this latest
improvement for their customers," added NetDespatch CEO, Becky Clark.
