Next generation: transform a family business with AI tools, automation and lockers
Many family businesses depend on opening hours and counter staff. Lockers let customers drop off and collect at any time, while automated notifications, online payments and back-office reporting reduce admin. It is a practical way for the next generation to grow an existing business.
Businesses that fit
Dry cleaning and laundry, shoe repair and shoe shine, trainer cleaning for students and young people, tailoring, key cutting, phone repair and local retail click-and-collect.
Extend beyond the shop
Place lockers in student accommodation, residential buildings, offices or a sports club, and run collections from the shop. The shop becomes a hub serving several sites.
Automation and AI
Automatic messages when an order is ready, reminders for uncollected items, card and open-banking payments, and reporting by site. Where CCTV is connected, AI-assisted footage review can help investigate complaints.
