For both retailers and consumers, contactless retail lockers provide ease, convenience and cost savings.

When complete, an email or text notification is sent to the customer letting them know it's ready for pickup. The customer can either scan their code or enter their order number and the locker door will open to retrieve their purchase.

Using package lockers for returns is simple. Customers print off a label and then place it in a locker that they open using a QR code, barcode, or PIN. The retail employees can process returns as time allows.
