1. Click and Collect is The Future
Buying and selling are continuously evolving as a process which aims to make
shopping easy and fun. However, the most painful part of shopping is the delivery of
goods. The Internet has expanded the reach of e-commerce to a wider customer
base across the globe and as per published internet statistics, the global
e-commerce revenue is expected to show annual growth of 8% CAGR from 2019 to
2023. It will create a market volume of USD 2,73,4414 Million by 2023.
On the other contrary, there is a hybrid e-commerce model surfacing in which the
buyer makes his purchase online by selecting items of his choice and picks them up
from a store or centralized collection center. It is known as ‘Click and Collect’ system
and many people believe this could be the future of e-commerce or e-retailing.

Globally, ‘Click and Collect’ does not have uniform results and in many countries, it is
still in the very naïve state.
Through this blog, ​Kirana King​ tries to highlight some of the benefits of ‘Click and
Collect’ model to both retailers and buyers, which predicts its bright future.
Reduces the Cost Of Delivery & Reverse Logistics For
The Retailer
With ‘Click and Collect’ the extra cost incurred due to shipping the good and reverse
logistics can be avoided and consumers can not only save money but walking to the
nearby collection center proves good for health also.
Generally, this cost was in addition to the price of the good, which results in the lower
purchase after the interest shown by the customers. As per a study by McKinsey on
‘Click and Collect’, it will help reduce cost by as much as 30%, making it a lot more
lucrative and viable investment for the retailers.

3. Opportunity to Motivate Consumers for Additional
Purchase – More GMV
A survey result of Walmart shows that about 50% of Walmart’s click and collectors
shopped at the store for additional items. In order to collect the purchased goods,
consumers have to visit the nearest store or the collection center.
The opportunity comes to the retail shop, in a way that they can offer more products
with the customized options on the visit by the consumer based on their buying
behaviour. Thus, retailers such as ​Kirana shops​ can easily motivate the consumers to
make an additional purchase at the time of order collection.

Buyers Can Take Delivery at Their Convenience
Suppose your order arrives at your home and you are not there, the delivery
has to be made again. This increases the delivery time and the cost of the
retailer in logistics and reverses logistics. Now, with the click and collect option
available to you as a customer, consumers can fix their time and place of the
nearby Kirana store or collection center.
Saves Time for the Consumer
Let us consider that a consumer has come out for shopping and goes to a
retailer where he does not find what he is looking for then he has to go to
another store.

from his nearby store. This way even consumers save time and stay away
from the physical hassle of traffic and market.

Merchandise

agencies are found broken or damaged.
By adopting ‘Click and Collect’ model the consumer can first ensure that the
quality of the products purchased is up to the mark and also there will be no
worry about the safe delivery of the goods.
