The strategy behind Jetlocker user design experience leads to its customers and clients benefitting from not dealing with the tedious processes of shipping, or long lines, but with convenient longer hours of operation and most importantly affordable prices. The convenience of the experience has been compared to an ATM as Jetlocker is a secure electronic kiosk perfect for storing your online orders. Essentially, it is a private and secure storage compartment for your consignments. With each order, a unique email code is generated for customers to access the locker and obtain their delivery. This contactless system was created with the help of Starboard Softworks. The Contactless system allows Jetlocker to fight against Covid-19 by eliminating the risk of face to face interaction.
Jetlocker’s CEO, Nikoan Johnson, stated “With the rise of the Pandemic, we gathered that it was important for Bahamians to have access to online shopping portals and the delivery of their items. It was critical that this service was made available in an environment that not only adhered to infection prevention guidelines but was also one of convenience.”
