CA 2469699

A method and system for the delivery of goods is herein disclosed. Remote locker banks are used to distribute parcels of previously requested goods to a field operative. The field operative requests via a computer one or more goods from a distribution center, which packages the goods into a parcel and transports the parcel to a locker in a locker bank at a location nearest to the field operative. The distribution center and remote locker banks are connected via a central server computer that facilitates communications and operations among them. The distribution center also communicates locker information to a field operative's remote unit, such that the field operative can open the specified locker when he or she goes to retrieve the parcel. The remote locker banks may be placed near retail stores or service stations, where spillover parcels may be stored when the locker bank is full.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système de livraison de marchandises. Selon l'invention, des services de casiers à distance sont utilisés pour distribuer à un technicien local des colis de marchandises préalablement commandées. Le technicien local commande par l'intermédiaire d'un ordinateur une ou plusieurs marchandises auprès d'un centre de distribution, lequel emballe ces marchandises dans un colis et transporte ce colis jusqu'à un casier d'un service de casiers situé à proximité du technicien local. Le centre de distribution et les services de casiers à distance sont connectés par l'intermédiaire d'un serveur central qui facilite les communications et les opérations entre ceux-ci. Le centre de distribution communique par ailleurs à une unité distante du technicien local des informations relatives au casier permettant au technicien d'ouvrir le casier spécifié lorsqu'il souhaite retirer le colis. Les services de casiers à distance peuvent être placés à proximité de magasins de détail ou de stations-service dans lesquels les colis peuvent être stockés lorsque tous les casiers sont pleins.
