The challenge

Mitre 10 is New Zealand's home of DIY and trade, with more than 45,000 line items and high product turnover. Its customers range from weekend renovators to builders on a deadline.

Mitre 10 wanted to cut wait times for online orders without losing the in-store service its customers know. That meant buy online, pick up in store (BOPIS) lockers that could take anything from a box of screws to a ladder, installed on a short timeline.

What we built

We solved two problems. The first was size. Alongside our standard compartment sizes, we designed a large two-compartment cabinet for long and bulky items such as ladders and lumber.

The second was time. To meet the install date, we expedited manufacturing and freight and had the lockers in place ahead of the deadline. The lockers sit in the store vestibule, so customers can collect 24/7, even after the store closes.
