Decathlon wanted to optimize costs for click-and-collect flow management
Decathlon has 300 stores in France and 1,100 internationally. The brand strives to make user experience central to its strategy.
The challenge
Quadient was tasked with optimizing the in-store order and collection process to improve customer experience and control the cost of in-store parcel management.
The solution
The Parcel Pending Standard solution was successfully installed within 20 Decathlon stores, ranging from 75 to over 150 lockers per store. Customized column designs the unique sizes of Decathlon products. The Standar model has proved to be an efficient multi-carrier solution, encompassing both Mondial Relay and international logistics providers.
Delivery and results
Decathlon optimized their costs, creating real savings from 30 parcels per day. After surveying customers, it was found that 98% of customers who used the lockers reported to be satisfied. In addition, the lockers enhanced security and accessibility of Decathlon’s parcels. Thanks to the Standard solutions, Decathlon can easily adapt their lockers according to parcel flows and available locker space.
