Esselunga e Coop they are experimenting with two applications skip the line to avoid doing the fila out of supermarkets. But what are these applications and especially in which supermarkets do they work?
Esselunga and Coop skip-the-line applications
Esselunga e Coop - for a few days now - in some of their supermarkets they are experimenting with the use of smartphone applications that allow you not to queue. Yeah, because if you've gone shopping at least once in the last month, you'll have stumbled upon 1 or 2 hours of something out of your local supermarket. Admissions are limited and for this reason we have to wait outside.
It is precisely in this case that some smartphone applications come to our aid that allow you to obtain the famous "numerino" and then enter the supermarket only when you are called.
But what are these apps and how do they work?
Esselunga app skip the line how to use it
The experimentation of Esselunga it has not yet been officially communicated but has been sponsored in some points of sale in Milan (Viale Umbria. Via Feltre, Viale Famagosta), Sesto Fiorentino, Biella and Verona.
Esselunga uses the functionality ofUfirst smartphone application which already offers a similar service of saltacoda for banks and public offices. Just download the application, geolocate yourself in the city of Milan and select the active point of sale. Once these operations have been carried out, you will have to "queue" virtually (in Milan it is allowed to queue up to two and a half hours before closing in one, up to an hour before in the other, and in other cities up to one 'hour before).
Through this app available for both iOS and Android, you can see the queue trend in order to understand how many numbers are missing before your turn, thus allowing you to reach the Esselunga store you have selected.
We hope that this functionality will also be extended to other stores because it could really help to save a lot of time but above all effort.
