How will Reserve and Collect change my stores and my store associates’ daily workload?
Your store associates should see it as an opportunity to share advice on how to use or wear the item the customer is trying out. They also have to be proactive in the relationship so they could share an alternative if the client needs help.
What is the main difference with and Click and Collect?
The two solutions are very similar, the main difference is about the payment: immediate for a Click and Collect order, deferred for Reserve and Collect.
How is OneStock combatting no-shows when it comes to Reserve and Collect orders?
When an item is reserved in-store, it is no longer available for sale as it is put to one side. This is why reducing the number of no-shows is essential! To achieve this goal, OneStock offers a lot of confirmation options: email, phone call, SMS, WhatsApp, etc. Our solution also allows your customers to book an appointment to try items out in-store, thus securing the customer’s availability.
Can I launch a Reserve and Collect project without an OMS or a unified view of my stock?
Our solution is connected to our Order Management System, so it provides a reliable view of the entirety of available and reserved stock. It would be very unfortunate to have a customer coming to collect the reserved item only to find that the store doesn’t have it in stock. Simultaneously, it would be very cost inefficient to have the reserved goods sent from the main warehouse to the selected store if that store had the reserved item in stock already. As such, to ensure the solution runs as smoothly as possible, an OMS is a must.
