Lithuania's StrongPoint works with Swedish, Russian food vending machine firms
The solution has already been tested by Sweden's Axfood retailer, which will install 30 grocery pickup stations
outside its physical stores Willys later in 2017. StrongPoint executives say
the client would next year invest in developing the network.
Julius Stulpinas, StrongPoint executive director
for the Baltic states and Russia, is convinced that the food vending machines
would be just as successful as parcel stations, which appear in parcel pickup
packages of nearly every parcel operator: "Someone has to be the first one
to take the step before others introduce it. The solution now highly interest
the companies that operate e-stores or those planning to enter the business. We
feel interest across Western Europe, Scandinavia, Russia and the Baltic
states."
Asked about potential clients in Lithuania, Stulpinas expressed hope that
the solution would attract interest of Barbora
online store, which currently offers one delivery option, as well as Rimi that recently announced plans to
introduce an e-commerce model.
