Nexkey Aims to Optimize Retail Operations
▶ SAN MATEO, Calif. - Nexkey, a provider of mobile access
control technology, says it has developed new technology for
retailers to simplify store operations and management after an
increased need for curbside pickups, loss prevention and overall
better consumer experience to battle online shopping.
The company developed new lock compatibility for the
Nexkey Core to replace every lock and key in the store with
the smartphone, most notably retail cabinets, according to an
announcement. The company also expanded its dashboard to
deliver data covering store occupancy and department activity.
Nexkey Core, which is billed as turning any mechanical lock
" smart " in minutes, now supports retail lock types, including but
not limited to ratchet, plunger and cam locks. By eliminating
keys with an app, the new technology is said to help shorten the
checkout process by minimizing time consumers wait for locked
merchandise; prevent theft and asset loss with key logs; and can
improve and speed up online shopping by granting third-party
online order pickers access to merchandise cabinets.
" After receiving a lot of interest from leading, nationwide
retailers, we've redesigned Nexkey to fit the needs of any retail
environment to create a seamless experience for both employees
and consumers, " says Nexkey CEO Eric Trabold. " For the
first time, access can be granted to every employee for every
lock imaginable which gives retailers the necessary data, highest
security and fastest shopping experience possible to successfully
operate a store. "
