24/7 stores usher in a new era
From March 2023, we are changing the way people shop in Czech stores, literally. The Futureshop24/7 project offers the possibility to shop without the need for staff, at any time, regardless of the time of day, day of the week, or even public holidays.
The first stores to adopt this revolutionary 24/7 concept were those focusing on food and everyday goods. These stores have successfully proven that this new way of shopping is not just fiction, but a real and popular shopping option.
Customers and retailers alike are responding with enthusiasm. Customers are adapting to this new way of shopping without human staff, and it is becoming a trend. The concept of autonomous 24/7 stores brings real freedom to shopping, and it makes sense to extend it to other categories of goods that have the potential to become fully unmanned stores.
These new categories are:
• Drugstores
• Tobacco shops
• Adult stores
• Toy and gift shops
• Shops specializing in craft supplies
In this way, we are bringing greater convenience, flexibility, and freedom to the future of shopping for our customers and pushing the boundaries of commerce.
The use of Bank Identity ensures maximum sales security for operators and can be used to verify the age of customers. This combination with products that have a longer shelf life and simpler logistics than groceries opens up interesting opportunities. Higher sales and savings for retailers are one side of this trend. The other side is a new customer experience and increased flexibility for customers themselves.
Non-stop access to services
We have all found ourselves in a situation where we needed something at home, but the stores were already closed. Unattended stores are not only for these moments. Our project makes shopping easier for people and gives them the opportunity to shop according to their own schedule. The 24/7 concept can also be extended to services such as ski or bicycle repair. Self-service allows you to drop off your skis for repair or pick up your repaired bicycle at any time, regardless of the time of day or day of the week.
