Boxdetails

Functionality
Standard functionality
Our lockbox machine qualifies ideally as an additional vending machine to sell big and bulky products like kilo bags of vegetables or fruits. Also, flowers can be kept freshly due to the cooling of the box.
The lockbox is integrated into the FarmVend system:
- Selection and payment made at the payment terminal
- QR-code is printed
- Scan QR-code at the module of the lockbox
- Doors of boxes open by itself after scanning the QR-code
The business owner is able to open each box separately with a portable scanner, this way s/he can fill the shelves with products. The manual allocation needs to be entered in the system.
The advantage compared to traditional lockbox systems
At traditional systems, the door of the shelf opens right after payment automatically. If the marketplace is crowded, misunderstandings can occur or other customers, who are closer to the box, could intentionally and illegally take the product.
Click & Collect functionality
Adding an online shop to the micro market can turn the lockbox into a click and collect station.
- The click and collect function can be used by the customer when selecting and buying the products beforehand in the corresponding online shop. Customers across Austria or even worldwide can enter the online shop, scroll through the product range and select their preferred products. Afterwards the customer pays online with credit card or direct transfer of the money.
- After the payment an e-mail is sent to the customer which includes a QR-code. This code is necessary to open the corresponding box shelf which holds the product. Also, the customer receives a time slot during which the product can be picked up at the lockbox.
- Between order receipt and pick up time, the operator of the shop collects all products and puts it in a shelf of the lockbox.
- Next, the customer drives to the farm gate sales and pick up the goods without any contact. After scanning the QR code at the lockbox, the shelf opens automatically, and the products can be taken out.
