We are able to automate a pick up solution for products of any size, shape or temperature

Online shopping has permanently changed people’s shopping behavior. Companies have to keep up with changing demand. Adding the possibility of pick up as part of the store’s service is a valuable way to increase online sales and attract customers. Pick up solutions fit many customers’ everyday life much better than home delivery.

“The majority of our customers prefer pick up, and as the pandemic eases, the role of pick up will certainly become even stronger.”

Jarkko Kyttänen, S Group

  • ZeeVending can be connected to any automated locker, so the buyer is never vendor locked by one supplier. The equipment supplier can be tendered if necessary.
  • A module-based solution can be bought in pieces. You can start with a basic locker and expand to service pick up service if necessary.

Pick up is an efficient and well-suited way for the customer to make purchases for everyday life. According to S Group, one of the biggest retail chains in Finland, 58% of their customers choose pick up rather than home delivery.

Additional modules for automated pick up

ZeeMobile - Mobile Interface

ZeeMobile allows you to monitor the status of the locker on a mobile device. With mobile UI the locker can be filled even when there are customers using the locker’s own user interface. The mobile interface works great with wall lockers that can be filled from the back.

ZeeStaff cloud service - efficiency for customer service

It is beneficial to manage even a single automatic pick up locker through a centralized cloud service. Managing several compartments centrally makes the work much more efficient. The information is automatically transmitted to the lockers. The employees responsible for managing them are provided with an up-to-date picture of the current state and history of the pick ups. If necessary, the personnel can add extra time for pick ups and the doors can be opened remotely through the service.

Service pickup points

A service pickup point is a customer service station where the customer can pick up their order from the customer service representative. The ZeeLive service communicates with the customer and informs them when the order is ready to collect, and the customer can announce their time of arrival using the web based service. The customer service representative can thus organize the delivery logistics efficiently and minimize the time the customer has to use at the pick up station.

The solution meets the high demands set for the maintenance, reliability and cost-effectiveness when it comes to food safety.

Cold monitoring with the power of a thousand engineers

Krispi is the only AI-assisted refrigeration monitoring tool on the market that makes the most important deviations and observations related to the operation of the devices visible.

It’s like having thousands of trained analysts monitoring all your refrigeration equipment around the clock and getting an up-to-date, centralized, and hands-on report to support your decision-making. This allows for a high level of product safety, significant energy savings and optimization of maintenance.

Krispi is compatible with most refrigeration systems and more compatibility can be added if necessary.

With Krispi you can

  • Avoid losses caused by breakdowns and too high temperatures and reduce risk to food safety.

  • Meet the HACCP standard requirements with minimum work

  • Streamline maintenance and reduce extra visits.

  • You can identify the optimization needs of refrigeration equipment and achieve savings of up to tens of percent in energy costs.
  • Krispi supervises all HOK-Elanto's grocery stores

    Core Factory Oy has developed the Krispi solution in close cooperation with the best refrigeration and food safety experts in grocery business.

    Illustrative user interface

    The Krispi cloud service, which is used with a browser, shows the state of all refrigeration equipment at a glance and enables quick intervention if deviations are detected. An accurate view of the effects of the control measures helps in optimizing temperatures

    The interface offers views of the status of the refrigeration equipment at several different levels. An overview of an entire network of stores can be found at a glance. It’s also possible to dive to the level of a single store and even the state and history of a single device. With this information, it is possible to prioritize maintenance and equipment adjustments. An accurate picture of the status of all equipment allows for more efficient maintenance visits. All refrigeration appliances that need adjustment or maintenance can be adjusted within one visit.

    Configurable alerts and user roles

    Krispi is able to identify, for example, unusual defrosting cycles, excessively high loads, interruptions in data connections and, of course, exceeding the set temperature and time limits. The observations related to these can be set in the order of priority desired by the user. Automatic email notifications can be sent for selected observations to the selected addresses.

    Views of system user roles can be narrowed as needed.

    Artificial intelligence is used to find the important observations from the large datasets. The findings are illustrated in an easy to understand way through the user interface.

    Krispi’s greatest strength is its artificial intelligence, which is able to find deviations in the same way as a human expert. There are numerous services on the market from individual refrigeration equipment manufacturers that are able to show the current state of the refrigeration units for that manufacturer’s equipment. But only Krispi is able to sift through the vast quantity of data of all manufacturers’ devices to make visible the most relevant observations that affect service and maintenance.

    Compatibility and implementation

    What makes Krispi exceptional is its ability to connect to any device. Compatibility is built using the ZeeCore edge unit developed by Core Factory. The most reliable solution is to place ZeeCore near the refrigeration equipment to be monitored, but if necessary, the same unit can be used to monitor refrigeration equipment from several locations over the network. If the refrigeration equipment of the store is already networked hrough a central refrigeration machine, implementing ZeeCore and Krisp can be done in one day. ZeeCoree turned on, connected to the refrigeration network and the internet. All necessary actions can then be done remotely. We are able to deploy multiple locations within the same day.

    Pre-networked refrigeration system is not necessary to start using Krispi. We define the measures required by the site when collecting preliminary data. We have experience in deploying more than 400 monitoring sites, so we are able to help you find the most suitable solutions for different sites.

    Krispi is reliable

    Krispi is able to communicate with refrigeration equipment without wireless sensors. If necessary, sensors can be used to supplement measurements, but it’s the mose efficient to utilise the devices’ own sensors. This also makes the system easy to maintain.

    Thanks to the way the system is implemented, Core Factory customer support is able to analyze and resolve most data collection issues remotely.

    Krispi tirelessly produces observations from the vast quantites of data produced by refrigeration equipment. With the help of these observations, stores are able to save thousands of euros yearly.

    Defining the right solution for your needs

    Cold technology used

    Are the refrigeration equipment already networked? If yes, then connecting Krispi is easy. If not, the devices can either be wired, or they can utilize wireless sensors.

    Store size

    The number of refrigeration equipment to be analysed affects the price.

    Number of stores

    It is cheaper to get Krispi for several locations at once.

    Example price

    In a supermarket-sized property with 35-70 refrigeration units, Krispi’s price is 65€ / month + one time fee 2900€. (Price includes a ZeeCore unit with a 5 year warranty.)
