Why Automate?

Retailers never had to be tech companies before. Now, retailers need to manage more SKUs, offer multiple fulfillment channels, reinvent the in-store experience, and do it all while lowering costs. To make things more difficult, retailers aren’t starting with a clean slate. Existing investments must be repurposed, not wasted. New technologies must integrate, not reinvent the wheel. And solutions need to be simple and future-proof, not complex and rigid.

The AerNode helps retailers in two main ways. It’s a click-and-collect solution for BOPIS and a micro AS/RS solution for stockrooms.

Click and Collect.
Deploying our solution in your store will dramatically help with BOPIS logistics. Instead of dedicating employees to deliver orders for pickup, the AerNode will provide a convenient 24/7 pickup experience for your customer. Bulk-loading features allow a single employee to fill many orders quickly, and streamlined, error-free pickups will improve customer satisfaction. We also make the return process easier for customers: no more waiting in line at the customer service desk. The AerNode is capable of tracking numerous data points for analytics and optimization. This solution will dramatically improve the customer experience.

Micro AS/RS. 
Poor stockroom and inventory management is a key source of inefficiency for many retailers. E-commerce integration only complicates the process and using manual or outdated systems is bound to introduce problems. The AerNode is a secure and automated alternative to store smaller inventory like hardware and apparel. The AerNode also works with conveyor systems and self-driving rovers, so more advanced solutions are possible. Ultimately, the AerNode is an elegant and affordable solution that will eliminate concerns about losses from theft and disorganization.

How It Works

Define your needs.

What are your package capacity requirements? How important Is package retrieval time? Would you like to integrate drones or rovers in the future?

Find a location.

The AerNode can be installed indoors or outdoors. The AerNode must be placed on a solid level surface. Make sure you can run power and data to the AerNode.

Configure your AerNode.

Once you know what you need and where you will place the AerNode, design yours online using our Configurator. See how different options affect the price, capacity, and performance in real-time.

Preorder your AerNode.

Pre-order your AerNode by placing a small refundable deposit. You do not have to configure your AerNode before preordering and we can help you with the configuration process.

Get Ready!

When we approach your spot in line, we'll send you relevant documents and the ability to select an installation date. You or an authorized employee must be present during installation.
