Pets at Home has announced the launch of a 60-minute Click & Collect service to make online shopping as convenient as possible for customers.

The retailer has partnered with order management specialist OneStock to fulfil online orders in one hour, in response to preferences for a fast and flexible delivery option recently revealed by data analysis and customer insights.

Pets at Home will use the new technology to unify its inventory throughout the business, giving visibility of the entire product range to colleagues and shoppers so they can check accurate stock availability across all stores.

Customers will be able to order online and pick up their packages 60 minutes later at their preferred store. Where heavy or large items form part of an order, they can be home delivered separately at a later date.

Chris Holyland, group digital director at Pets at Home, said: “Improving convenience sits at the heart of this initiative. We know our customers love to collect their orders from our stores, so enhancing the collection experience through the launch of same day, one hour Click & Collect will help us meet expectations.”
