In June 2024, Alexandre launched his automated locker installation with Automat-e in Qu\u00e9bec. <\/span>A great way to make local products available to the community while showcasing high-quality goods.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

78 refrigerated lockers for local products \ud83e\uddfa<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Automat-e locker: a hit with the local community \ud83e\udd17<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

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\u2014just fresh products from local producers, anytime<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

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<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Key benefits of selling through automatic lockers \ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83c\udf3e<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Double-sell locker: a game-changer in automated retail\u267b\ufe0f<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Automat-e is always looking for ways to optimize locker use and stocking time. That\u2019s why our engineers developed the double-sell locker<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like Alexandre\u2019s setup, each locker unit contains two compartments<\/strong>, meaning two products can be sold in the same space. Fewer refills needed, greater stock flexibility\u2014a smart solution for busy managers.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Supporting local, short supply chains with Automat-e \ud83c\udf3f<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

At Kios, a multi-producer self-service grocery<\/strong>, the lockers offer a curated selection of local goods from the Qu\u00e9bec region. More proximity, more taste, more freshness\u2014that\u2019s what better consumption is all about.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Automat-e provides local farms with an easy-to-use sales point to sell directly to consumers \u2014 it\u2019s the technology of the future,”<\/em> Alexandre told us.<\/span><\/p>\n
