New CVS App Lets Customers Unlock Cabinets to Pick Up Products
Published On Jan 28, 2025, 6:03 PM
CVS Health has announced a pilot program in New York City that allows customers to unlock locked merchandise cabinets using a new app. This feature aims to improve customer convenience by reducing wait times for assistance, addressing complaints about locked products meant to deter retail theft. Following positive feedback, CVS plans to expand this technology to around 10 stores on the West Coast soon. The initiative reflects a broader trend among drugstore chains to balance theft prevention and customer satisfaction.

CVS's innovative use of technology to improve customer experience could lead to increased consumer satisfaction and potentially higher sales, as customers may feel more inclined to purchase products that are otherwise hard to access due to theft prevention measures. If this technology proves successful, it may provide CVS a competitive edge over other retailers facing similar issues.
