Instacart Carrot Tags' pick to light functionality is rolling out chainwide at Schnuck Markets so that Instacart shoppers can easily activate items from their picking list within the Instacart Shopper App for easier and more accurately fulfill orders.
Schnucks began digitizing its stores with Instacart's Carrot Tags' pick to light functionality in 2023. After seeing success with initial tests at pilot stores, Schnucks decided to implement more of this order-fulfillment technology to make it easier to locate on-shelf items. Now, Schnucks is the first retail partner to introduce Carrot Tags' pick to light functionality chainwide. "Because Schnucks is using pick to light, we're seeing an increase in found rates, which in turn provides higher order quality and customer satisfaction," reports David McIntosh, VP and GM of Connected Stores at Instacart.
