When is the last time you spent your Saturday driving around from store-to-store shopping for goods?
\nDon\u2019t worry if you can\u2019t recall wasting your weekend running errands. If you\u2019re like most consumers, then you\u2019re shopping with ease and convenience via your smartphone, computer or smartwatch.
\nPew Research reports that nearly 80 percent of U.S. consumers shop online, and 62 percent of them make online purchases every week. But consumers aren\u2019t just clicking to buy and then waiting patiently for their orders. They\u2019re demanding instant gratification. Over half – 61 percent – of consumers want their goods in their hands within one to three hours of placing an online order.<\/em>
\nThere\u2019s no denying that retailers nowadays are facing drastic changes in consumer demand, behavior and above all, technology and online shopping. For example, the trend of buying online and picking up in store (BOPIS) is on the rise with 50 percent of consumers utilizing BOPIS within the last 12-months. Additionally, 80 percent of online shoppers expect to be able to pick up their items in under 10 minutes from the time they enter the store. Consumers want the goods they order online to be available immediately, and the pick-up process to be quick and easy.

That\u2019s why 90 percent of retailers plan to implement a BOPIS model within the next three years.
\nWith the retail landscape becoming more complex by the minute, there\u2019s a major need for an innovative solution that will provide a seamless BOPIS experience. That\u2019s where BOPIL\u2122 (Buy Online, Pick-up in Locker) comes into play.
