Retailers have been waiting for 2 years to meet again at the Retail Show - the largest trade fair with equipment and technological solutions for stores in Poland. Walking between the aisles, we could notice clear changes that had taken place in #retail at that time. The pandemic period modified the consumer’s behavior and stores quickly responded to it by introducing solutions that work with the growing e-commerce sector, such as order pick-up lockers placed inside or outside the outlets.
During the fair, it was possible to compare several devices like that. We are glad that as SelfMaker we noticed this trend early and now, from the perspective of 3 years of experience and over 150 implementations of lockers carried out for large chains, we are able to effectively improve processes both on the side of logistics departments and final consumers, offering them flexibility and safety. What is more, we introduced more advanced refrigeration and freezing modules to our offer too. Our own production certainly allows us to adapt the device to the customer's needs.
During the conversations, you also shared with us your observations regarding the implementation of small bistro zones inside stores #SelfCoffee. And although the trend was not so visible during the 2019 edition of the fairs, this year it is already very strong. Also, The Perfect Store has been equipped with a coffee point. Guaranteeing consumers, the opportunity to buy a hot #toGO meal and coffee that they can buy in the store is aimed to keep the customer in the store longer and respond to their new needs. Remote work has made it more and more common to talk about “the human between work and home". More and more often we work from our own homes but the habits related to morning, good quality coffee, or a quick breakfast are still present. And they are even more strengthened by the actions taken by the chains of small local discount stores that can be found in our housing estates. More about SelfCoffee you can find > here <
#Recycling was a strong trend at this year's #RetailShow too. This is related to the coming change in the law. A new packaging management regulation will soon come into force in multi-surface stores.
As automation specialists, we felt obliged to respond to these new market challenges and presented our latest product at the Retail Show: the #EKOPUCHA self-service recycling device. Visitors of the fair could test the fast operation of the machine, which intuitively guides the user through each step. In addition, our application to guide this process and motivate customers to recycle had its premiere. Thanks to the app customers can see the benefits of supporting the closed circuit - after returning the packaging, they can receive discounts in the loyalty program or decide to support charity campaigns. Those who know us, know perfectly well that supporting #proEKO initiatives is part of our company's everyday life (you can read more about it > here <), which is why we are more than happy that #EKOPUCHA has joined the family of our self-service devices. If you would like to learn more about this solution, we invite you for a free consultation > click <.
Finally, we would like to thank everyone who visited us at the stand. Conversations with you in #real life are always the most valuable for us! We also thank the Partners: #Primulator Polska and #Iglootechnika. We hope to see you soon, and for those who are willing to return to the events of the past week, a short photo report:
