Leading Australian retailer Woolworths has teamed with Sydney Trains to trial a click and collect system at Bondi Junction Station.
Commuters who order their grocers online at Woolworths before 11am will then be able to collect their order from special lockers at Bondi Junction Station in the afternoon.
“Everyone has time pressures, so we thought why not help train customers save time and be able to pick up grocers at the station on their way home” Andrew Constance, New South Wales minister for transport & infrastructure said. “We’re trying to get customer home quicker and avoid the made afternoon dash to the shops.”
Customers will be able to order fresh to frozen foods, with a minimum A$30 order, as long as the items are able to fit in the lockers, which can be accessed via a code.
The trial was launched on 10 February and will run for 12 months, and if deemed successful will then be rolled out a cross other Sydney stations.
“I am determined to tap into new technology that will improve the transport experience for our customers,” Woolworths GM digital retail Kate Langford said. “This is a great example of the new initiatives customers can expect to see more of. Woolworths is always looking for new and innovation ways to sere customers and make their shopping easier and more convenient.”
