Lowes Foods Selects Radius Networks' FlyBuy Pickup Curbside Solution to Help Eliminate Customer Wait Time at the Curb

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Radius Networks, the leading location-based technology company in grocery, restaurant, retail, and hospitality, has partnered with Lowes Foods, who operates full-service high-end supermarkets throughout the Carolinas. Lowes Foods maintains a strong focus on exceptional food experiences for their guests, which includes their Click and Collect grocery pickup and delivery service, Lowes Foods To Go.

Lowes Foods is continuing to enhance their guest experience by implementing Radius Networks' curbside pickup solution. FlyBuy® uses proprietary machine-learning technology to accurately calculate the customer's arrival time and on-premise location for curbside and in-store pickup programs. This technology allows Lowes Foods to efficiently execute on their 'Click & Collect' process including Lowes Foods To Go for curbside pickup and delivery. FlyBuy provides a frictionless experience for guests and creates an efficient solution for Lowes Foods' staff.

"Our goal at Radius Networks is to help our partners improve the customer and staff experience with the growth of their click-and-collect programs," said Jeff Baskin, EVP of Global Partnerships at Radius Networks. "With online grocery baskets three times larger than in-store baskets, and the incremental revenue tied to decreasing wait time, we understand the importance of getting the curbside pickup experience right. We have built our solution to provide customers with location updates along their journey, and, more importantly, provide accurate updates to Lowes Foods' hosts so they can be as efficient as possible while creating a second-to-none customer experience."

FlyBuy Pickup enables two-way communication between the guest and the store. As soon as a guest's order is ready for pickup, they are notified and prompted to share their location when they're ready to drive to the store. The store team automatically receives alerts at important stages of the guest's journey so they can prepare and carry the order to the guest the moment they pull into the pickup area. This not only saves guests precious time, but it adds to the overall efficiency of the grocery fulfillment operation.

"The Radius Networks FlyBuy platform gives our hosts a new level of visibility into a guest's journey to our store which is significantly decreasing wait times at pickup," says Chad Petersen, Senior Director of eCommerce at Lowes Foods. "In addition to the time-saving benefits for our guests, the geolocation data provided by FlyBuy helps our Personal Shoppers spend their time more efficiently inside the store. This has a dramatic impact on our service levels and efficiency while aiding in our continued focus toward developing a more proactive operation overall."

Lowes Foods plans to have the FlyBuy technology live in all of its Lowes Foods To Go locations by Q2 of 2020.
