In June 2024, Alexandre launched his automated locker installation with Automat-e in Québec. A great way to make local products available to the community while showcasing high-quality goods.
78 refrigerated lockers for local products 🧺
At Alexandre’s location, you’ll find a wide variety of fresh local products available around the clock. Prepared meals, fruits, vegetables, regional specialties… there’s something for every craving, whether it’s for a quick lunch or a cozy dinner.
The Automat-e locker: a hit with the local community 🤗
Choosing to visit the Kios grocery locker means opting for product freshness and a 24/7 service, restocked daily. The automatic locker is incredibly convenient for consumers: no more depending on store hours—just fresh products from local producers, anytime.
All our clients report positive feedback from their customers, who appreciate the simplicity, freshness, and freedom the system offers. The Automat-e locker also helps expand your customer base by attracting people curious about new tech, happy to find quality products nearby with an easy and intuitive experience.
Key benefits of selling through automatic lockers 👨🌾
The Automat-e locker is a fantastic solution for producers, artisans, and small retailers looking to sell their products through a self-service model.
✅ Better margins on sales
✅ Boost in sales and revenue
✅ Flexible, remote management
✅ Lower operating costs than a traditional store
There are plenty of good reasons to choose lockers over brick-and-mortar shops—and everyone benefits!
Double-sell locker: a game-changer in automated retail♻️
Automat-e is always looking for ways to optimize locker use and stocking time. That’s why our engineers developed the double-sell locker.
Like Alexandre’s setup, each locker unit contains two compartments, meaning two products can be sold in the same space. Fewer refills needed, greater stock flexibility—a smart solution for busy managers.
Supporting local, short supply chains with Automat-e 🌿
One thing’s for sure: our lockers promote the sale of fresh, local products. It’s a value that resonates with today’s consumers who want to get back to basics and eat better.
At Kios, a multi-producer self-service grocery, the lockers offer a curated selection of local goods from the Québec region. More proximity, more taste, more freshness—that’s what better consumption is all about.
« Automat-e provides local farms with an easy-to-use sales point to sell directly to consumers — it’s the technology of the future, » Alexandre told us.
