The Store Picker workflow in a delivery app.

What is a Store Picker?

When a customer orders grocery or alcohol, someone has to physically go to the store and pick up the items in the customer order list . The store picker has the responsibility to pick the right items. He can suggest new products which the customer can accept/reject. If the item is not available then he can check for alternate or substitute products and upon approval by the customer, the item can be added to the cart. There is a provision to chat, do a VOIP call or even a video chat with the customer to make the shopping experience complete.

  1. Once an order comes into the store app, the store manager checks if teh order can be fulfilled. If yes he accepts the order. If it cannot be fulfilled for some reason then order can be rejected. It will then move out of the store admin dashboard and a notification will be sent to the customer of the same.
  2. Once an order is accepted it is assigned to a picker. The picker can also be the driver who will ultimately deliver the order.
  3. The picking process starts once the picker is identified.

  10. If the item is priced less than the earlier chosen item then start the refund amount process and continue picking rest of the shopping list.
