Breaking news: trolley parks and shelters

ahorro supermercados

According to a Statista study on consumer habits in Spain, more and more Spaniards prefer to shop in large retail chains. 

This type of supermarket handles a very high volume of shopping trolleys, often resulting in abandoned trolleys in the centre’s car park and dissatisfied customers due to the lack of trolleys available when they need them.

We fight this problem and promote savings in supermarkets

To address this problem and improve daily operations, Carttec Group offers trolley management systems that have proven to be a very effective solution. These systems include the installation of collection points known as trolley parks and covered storage areas or trolley shelters, specifically designed to prolong the life of the trolleys and facilitate their retrieval.

Trolley parks 

  • They are strategically distributed points in car parks or areas close to the supermarket entrance. 
  • They allow customers to easily return trolleys without having to cover long distances. 
  • This system significantly improves operational efficiency, reducing the time employees spend retrieving scattered trolleys.

Trolley shelters

  • They are structures that protect trolleys from inclement weather, such as rain or extreme heat, preventing premature deterioration. 
  • These structures extend the life of the trolleys and contribute to maintaining a tidy and clean image of the supermarket.

The customisation of these solutions plays a crucial role in the image of each shop. Trolley parks and shelters can be adapted to the design and style of each supermarket, integrating their corporate colours and logo to strengthen the brand image. With the advancement of technology, it is also possible to fit these systems with sensors and radio frequency identification (RFID) devices, allowing real-time monitoring of the location of trolleys, which helps prevent theft and facilitates stocktaking.

Implementing customised and technological solutions optimises the use of resources and also improves the customer experience, reducing operational costs in the medium and long term.
