The two have joined forces to launch a pilot program that would essentially make it possible for Google Maps users to track the grocery order status, share the ETA with the staff, and then let the store know they’ve arrived for a no-contact pick up right from the application.
And the whole thing works as straightforward as possible.
First of all, you’d have to place your order in the store's dedicated app, but thanks to this new update, you can add it to Google Maps for additional functionality.
Once it’s registered in Google Maps, the app will send you a notification to let you know that you can go pick up your order. In addition, Maps will determine the route, calculate the ETA, and then share it with the store, so the staff will know exactly when you arrive.
