Click & Collect Software Accelerator

COVID-19 has changed customer behavior. Putting safety first, many people have been encouraged to try online shopping for the first time. And it’s not just the occasional purchases like new shoes or a bigger TV; shoppers are doing their daily shopping in their favorite convenience stores.

A Click & Collect implementation gives shoppers the best of both worlds - online sales with physical collection of goods at the store. Retailers can offer a seamless omnichannel with a range of benefits for the customer: faster online purchasing with no distractions, no queues or crowds in-store, and fewer human touchpoints for a safer buying journey.

Click & Collect Accelerator is a set of elements that reduce the time-to-market of the implementation of the in-store pickup of eCommerce orders. Divante has created a best-in-breed ecosystem focused on mobile operations and implements it based on Vue Storefront Cloud.

The Vue Storefront Cloud license provides an advanced integration with a commercetools backend, as well as with numerous other third-party providers (CMS / Search / Payment systems, etc). Those integrations are ready out of the box and provide a true acceleration to the development process.
