How Have Pharmacies Been Impacted in the Age of Social Distancing?

The rise of the current health crisis has many pharmacies feeling the increased pressure to continue to operate while keeping their customers and employees safe. Furthermore, many pharmacies have limited their in-store traffic, closed stores altogether and restricted prescription pickup to drive-thru and curbside only. Pharmacies are delivering essential goods and services in an efficient manner. Whether it be in-store, drive-thru or curbside, pharmacies are looking to reduce the exchange of personal items such as insurance cards, ID cards, loyalty cards and digital coupons and the time customers spend waiting in line. Pharmacies are now accelerating their evaluation and deployment of dedicated secondary scanning devices.

Social distancing guidelines are helping to stop the spread of COVID-19. Yet they present a new challenge for retail stores – especially grocery stores hit hard by changes in demand and shopping habits. Click and collect solutions have been slowly growing in the retail industry and allow customers to order online and pickup their items curbside with no contact for safety.

Honeywell’s wide range of retail products includes mobile computers, barcode printers, scanners, and more can help your store continue to serve customers in these quickly changing times.

What is Click and Collect Shopping?

Grocery stores have been slowly transitioning to online shopping; according to Nielsen, 4% of grocery sales were online in 2019. But recent data has shown how much demand there is to order groceries online and pick them up.

Click and collect shopping uses an online portal where customers place their grocery orders and select a pickup time. Employees can then go pick the orders and pack them, and then load them into customer’s cars at the pickup location.

This shopping style is convenient for the customers who can order at their leisure and helps maintain social distancing by reducing crowds in stores.

What You Need for Click and Collect Shopping

Some grocery store chains have their own version of click and collect shopping, managed through the store directly. There are also third-party services that customers can use, which are also growing in popularity right now.

Honeywell’s wide range of retail solutions can help your store set up or expand a click and collect grocery shopping option.

Mobile handheld computers like the Honeywell CT40 Mobile Computer, with a built-in Mobility Edge platform, make it easy to pull up the order list and pick items. Built-in scanning technology helps the employee know they picked the right item and can feed back into your inventory reports.

Mobile printers like the Honeywell RP4e can create a printed ticket and receipt for your employees and the customers.

Other items you may want include headsets and mobile POS payment terminals.
