BAUHAUS Click & Collect
Bauhaus first with new technology for click & collect
BAUHAUS has implemented a new solution to help staff pick items for Click & Collect. With the help of electronic shelf labels and handheld terminals, it has become much faster and easier to find your way to the right items. A new solution that also saves a lot of time on replenishment.
With a product range of over 160,000 items in a typical BAUHAUS store, it can be confusing for staff to find the exact pack of nails or can of paint to pick for a Click & Collect order.
But with the help of new technology, BAUHAUS staff can find the right products on the shelves in the warehouse faster and easier.
FLASHING SHELF LABELS SHOW THE WAY
Through the use of electronic shelf labels and handheld terminals from Delfi Technologies, BAUHAUS can show the way to the products. The electronic shelf labels at BAUHAUS have a built-in LED flash, which can be made to flash from the handheld terminal when the employee needs to find a specific item.
– It’s really smart and efficient – we can use the electronic shelf labels and handheld terminals to better navigate around the store. It saves us a lot of time in everyday life,” says Allan Nygaard, Department Manager at BAUHAUS in Roskilde.
On the handheld terminal, staff can see aisle and section information for each item, which can be used to find the specific locations of items. Once the employee has found the right area, they can flash the relevant shelf leading edge to find the right shelf and item.
– After implementing the new solution, we can get Click & Collect orders packed much faster, says Allan Nygaard.

FASTER REPLENISHMENT
With so many SKUs, it can also be time-consuming to find the right shelves when restocking. Here too, employees can use the handheld terminal and shelf labels to guide them.
– Now that we can use the handheld terminals and electronic shelf labels to show the way, we can also replenish goods much faster than before. It gives us more productive workflows and we don’t have to spend unnecessary time looking for the right shelf and the right location,” explains Allan Nygaard.
BAUHAUS in Roskilde uses a combination of four different sizes of electronic signs, depending on the department and product group in question – from small signs to very large signs in areas where there is a need to read price and product information from a longer distance. All the shelf labels can be made to flash and show the way. The handheld terminal itself is the Android-based Delfi PM80 PDA, which is actually a robust smartphone.
