UK parcel shop network CollectPlus has introduced a new mobile barcode system to make it easier for consumers to pick up their parcels.

Customers are now sent a unique barcode direct to their smartphone when their parcel arrives at the selected store.

They can use this code on their phone instead of having to print out a confirmation for the shopkeeper when picking up their delivery.


CollectPlus says the new mobile barcode will speed up parcel collection

CollectPlus, a joint-venture between parcel carrier Yodel and payment company PayPoint said the new system could “significantly” improve transaction time.

Neil Ashworth, the CollectPlus CEO, said the innovation was part of his company’s constant effort to provide customers with a personalised and streamlined way to collect their online purchases.

“The new collection code is a fantastic time-saving innovation, developed in conjunction with the team at PayPoint, making our Click&Collect+ service even quicker and easier to use, and complementing the busy lives of our customers,” he said.

CollectPlus now has more than 5,000 convenience stores and filling stations in its network of parcel collection points. The company offers collection points for retailers including Amazon, House of Fraser, ASOS and Very.co.uk.
