Does the cooler stay locked until payment is provided?
Locked Solution
Yes. The cooler remains locked until the consumer uses either a GMA account or a payment type to unlock the cooler. When they scan their items, they can click checkout. The device uses the form of payment they used to open the cooler, as the payment for the transaction. The cooler will then lock once again.
Unlocked Solution
No. The cooler door will remain unlocked. The Pico would just be used as the checkout device.
How does a consumer purchase a product?
Locked Solution
There are two flows:
A. For the cooler items, consumers should:
- Scan their app QR code or market card to unlock the cooler.

- Press Account or Credit Card. If Credit Card is chosen, swipe tap or insert the card.
- Enjoy!
B. If you have a rack located next to the PicoCooler:
- Consumers can scan the items first (or with the rest of their cooler items).

Unlocked Solution
The cooler door remains unlocked.

Provisioner Questions

Yes! They should contact the Sales Admin team at SalesAdmin@365smartshop.com. When the request has reached Fulfillment, the operator will then be allowed to reprovision the device to a new location.
Can operators order a large batch of PicoCoolers to keep on-hand to deploy as needed?
Yes! Operators can order them and self-provision them as needed if they have at least one existing PicoCooler in their Org.
Does the tablet have to be online to provision?
Yes, it will prompt you to set up a connection as the first step using WiFi or cellular.
How long does this take?
The entire process should take from five to ten minutes.
What information will the operator need?
If they are deploying the device to an existing location, no additional information is needed. However, if they are going to create a new location where they will deploy the device, they will need the standard information regarding contacts, minor settings, etc. for the new location.
Note: The operator can change these settings later in ADM if they are not sure of them.
Can operators stage it offsite?
Yes! They can stage the device at their office or warehouse, then transport the device and re-establish the connection when it has been placed on site.
Do operators have to call to enable CC to work on their device?
No, when they provision their device the CC MID/DID is automatically set up so they will be ready to accept sales immediately!

Where do operators purchase the coolers?

Does the operator have to install the PicoCooler device on the cooler?
Yes, operators will receive the cooler and PicoCooler device separately. They will be responsible for installing the device.
Does the Pico integrate with the Health Safety Lock on the cooler?
Yes! If the cooler rises above the set threshold, the Health Safety Lock will be put in place. This prevents consumers from opening the cooler until an onsite operator can verify that the products are still safe for consumption.
How does the operator override a Health Safety Lockout?
The operator must first verify that they have checked the items for spoilage. Then, if the setting is enabled, they may override the lockout from the cooler itself. If the operator does not know how to do this, they will need to contact the cooler manufacturer for instructions.
How does an operator Unlock or Lock the cooler?
Locked Solution
The operator can enter the Exit screen and log in. There they will see the Lock and Unlock buttons. They can also use the key to the cooler if needed.
Unlocked Solution
The cooler remains unlocked on the unlocked Pico unless the cooler goes over or under temp and locks out due to the Health Safety Lockout.
How does an operator activate restocking mode to avoid a Health Safety lockout?
1. They log into the Exit screen with their driver PIN.
2. Click Service Mode.
3. They can set the cooler to "restocking" mode from the cooler itself.
Note: If an operator does not know the steps to do this, they should contact the cooler manufacturer for instructions.
This will then unlock the cooler and enter it into restocking mode. The Health Safety Lockout will be delayed for a designated amount of time to avoid gaps in service when the cooler has been restocked.
