Direct Source, a retail technology services and solution provider, Safco, a workspace furnishings manufacturer and Synq, a technology company, have come together to deliver smart in-store contactless product retrieval lockers, according to a press release.

Designed for retail customers who want a self-service transaction experience, the multi-use smart locker systems allow shoppers to order online or in-store, retrieve their products or services from a secure locker and enable shoppers to make contactless returns using their smart phone, with no app required.

Lockers can be placed either inside or outside the store for easy access and come in a variety of sizes to fit various retail footprints.

The smart lockers integrate with back-end point-of-sale information, inventory management and distribution systems to help store associates view orders, track and load approved purchases into a locker. Customers can open the lockers via their personal smart phone for a fast and seamless check-out process.
