LEA Reply™ In-Store Picking is the ideal solution for retailers and grocery chains that sell their goods online and prepare orders directly in-store. LEA Reply™ In-Store Picking helps to simplify this process through an intuitive and practical mobile app that guides the user through every step of the picking process for accurate, quick and cost-effective e-Commerce order fulfillment.
LEA Reply™ In-Store Picking is synchronized with the e-commerce system and supports the entire process from distributing orders to operators, picking and scanning items, managing substitutes or loose goods, and identifying orders for pick-up or delivery. In case an e-commerce system is not in place orders can also be inserted manually in the web interface.
LEA In-Store Picking supports the Click&Collect model, covering the entire process of e-commerce order preparation and managing end customer order pick-up. In advanced scenarios, home delivery can be supported through integration with LEA Reply™ Last Mile Delivery.
FROM CUSTOMER ORDER TO PICK-UP/DELIVERY
Items, barcodes, images and assortments can automatically be synchronised with retailer systems

To scan item barcodes the app interacts with the device's built-in camera (in case of consumer devices) or barcode reader (in case of industrial devices)
