The pandemic dealt a devastating blow to convenience stores, which heavily rely on in-store foot traffic to generaterevenue. With their innovative device-based solution, Lula was able to save convenience stores by giving thema viable revenue stream that doesn’t require foot traffic. Stores can now digitize their inventory and offer onlineordering, creating new levels of accessibility and ease. Lula provided tablets enable store staff to manage onlineorders more efficiently by aggregating orders across third-party platforms. This means increased sales for thestores and unparalleled convenience for customers, who can now have their orders delivered straight to their door.
However, Lula quickly realized their manual process for provisioning tablets, which took 5-10 minutes per deviceand could only be done one at a time, was hindering their ability to scale effectively. They knew there was a betterway. Once they found Esper things changed dramatically. With Esper, Lula can now provision dozens of tabletsat a time in a matter of minutes, enabling them to focus on what they do best: helping convenience stores thrivein the digital age.
Esper made it so much easier to not only build our product but to provision and ship our tabletsto our customers. Switching from provisioning devices one-by-one to their more automatedprovisioning options has saved us a lot of time
With Esper, Lula found the perfect solution tostreamline their device provisioning and makethe most of their resources.
