Glympse Launches Curbside and In-Store Pickup Solution

Glympse unveils its Curbside & In-Store Pickup product. The product is designed to facilitate safe, temporary and secure customer-to-business location sharing and multichannel arrival notifications in a way that allows Retail, Grocery and Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) brands to optimize pickup for both themselves and their customers.

Immediately after a customer places an order online, they are alerted via an SMS text message, email or push notification when their order is ready to be picked up. Thanks to a dedicated mobile app (or any customer mobile app that is powered by Glympse's SDK), the customer can safely and temporarily share their location and ETA with the business. Included in the solution to optimize store operations is a dedicated employee mobile application and a kiosk web application for an all-up view for pickup management.

Albertsons Companies will pilot Glympse technology in select Drive Up & Go markets next month, so store employees can bring groceries to customers’ cars exactly when they arrive. 

These new solutions represent an incredible opportunity for brands to leverage increased real-time data and analytics through the new and improved En Route Console.

Employees need to be able to see which customers are on their way, who is closest and the precise location so they can prepare orders at exactly the right moment. Now, thanks to Glympse’s Curbside and In-Store Pickup solution, those employees have access to real-time visibility, timely notifications, and other tools needed to prioritize fulfillment. With various privacy options, you can also manage how much information customers must share to get the data needed to manage order preparations.
