Bell and Howell to expand click-and-collect pickup kiosks

December 13, 2017

Bell and Howell has announced it will "significantly expand" the number of click-and-collect pickup locations it installs throughout the U.S. in 2018, according to a press release. The expansion builds on the more than 100 "Pickup Towers" Bell and Howell installed in Walmart locations this year.

The Pickup Tower offers customers fast and easy access to products ordered on Walmart.com and want to pick up in a store. Once an online order is ready, the customer is sent an email or text notification with a code. They then go to the Pickup Tower in the Walmart store they've selected, scan their code, and receive their order in less than 15 seconds.

Bell and Howell is the exclusive distributor in North America of the Pickup Tower, a 16-foot robotics-based parcel terminal called the PackRobot manufactured by Cleveron, an Estonia based developer of self-service click-and-collect technology.
