Seemantini Godbole, Chief Information Officer of Lowe’s Discusses the company's Tech Secret Sauce
August 9, 2021

Seemantini Godbole Lowe's CIOLowe’s was one of the first companies to adopt mobile devices in its stores. Currently, Lowe's has more than 110,000 mobile devices across its fleet. In addition to doubling as mobile checkout devices, the company also delivers associate training, organized in 5 and 10-minute chunks.

The majority of Lowe’s tech is built in-house, including the self-checkout terminals in roughly 580 of its 1,700+ U.S. stores. The company develops them in-house to enable Lowe’s to customize further. Lowe's also integrates its loyalty programs beyond what they found vendors could provide.

“We never print instructions. We never bring the user manual. We have no training on how to use this, because the whole point is for it to be simple and intuitive to use,” Godbole says.

Comments from Marvin Ellison, CEO:

"Our improved operating margin also reflects the progress of our operational transformation driven by our perpetual productivity initiatives, or PPI. On Lowe's .com, sales grew 36.5% on top of 80% growth in the first quarter of 2020, which represents a 9% sales penetration this quarter, and a 2-year comp of 146%."

"With customer demand for an integrated omni-channel shopping experience only increasing, we continue to invest in our omni-channel capabilities."

"In addition to the strength in Pro, we delivered over 60% comps along with significant increase in customer satisfaction in our installation services business. We've overhauled this business and improved the service offering by consolidating our provided network and implementing industry leading technology."

"We're focused on expanding our private brand penetration with a balanced brand strategy that includes a powerful national brand portfolio that appeals to both Pro and DIY customers. At the same time, we'll offer a select number of high value private brands building consumer loyalty for these products."

Marvin Ellison CEO Lowe's

 

Comments from Joe Mcfarland, EVP - Stores: 

 "As Marvin mentioned, our focus on perpetual productivity improvement or PPI initiative continued to yield results during this quarter. As we leverage store payroll by using technology to reduce tasking hours, improve customer service and increase sales productivity. For example, we rolled out digital signs first in appliances and most recently in our lumber department."

"We're also driving productivity in our in-store fulfillment. This quarter, we expanded our contactless shopping options by completing the rollout of BOPIS lockers to 100% of our U.S. stores in April. Customers really enjoy these touchless easy to use lockers. In fact, this has already become the highest rated store fulfillment options. Having BOPIS lockers in 100% of our U.S. stores will allow us to expand our omni-channel capabilities, further improve customer satisfaction and limit customer congestion at our service desk."

Highlights from 2020 CEO's Letter to Shareholders

Marvin Ellison
President and Chief Executive Officer

Marvin Ellison CEO Lowe's

"We also continued to enhance the Lowe’s mobile app to improve the customer pickup experience. We rolled out a geofencing technology that allows customers to alert our stores when they are on their way to pick up their orders, which enables quicker fulfillment when they arrive at the store. We also stood up dedicated fulfillment teams to handle all in-store fulfillment orders. All these technology and process enhancements have already driven improvements in customer satisfaction and speed of service."

"We also accelerated the re-platforming of Lowes.com from a decade-old platform to the cloud. This truly transformed site stability, which enabled the site to handle an over 70% increase in traffic volumes in 2020. We more than doubled our online assortment, increasing online items from 1 million at the beginning of the year to 2.2 million by yearend."

"We also improved the customer experience with simplified search, navigation and checkout options and the ability to shop products by collection. Additionally, we expanded our direct-to-consumer shipping capacity by opening a second Lowes.com Fulfillment Center in the fall, located in Southern California."

"Shortly after joining the Company in 2018, I worked with the new executive leadership team to establish a retail fundamentals strategy with the objective of transforming Lowe’s into a word-class omni-channel retailer. This strategy focused on building our operating capabilities through strategic investments in merchandising excellence, supply chain transformation, operational efficiency and customer engagement."

"At the end of 2020, we launched the powerful next chapter in our journey — our “Lowe’s Total Home” strategy aimed at further accelerating market share gains. Total Home is Lowe’s strategy to ensure our product and service portfolio offers the complete home improvement solution for every DIY, DIFM and Pro customer when, where and how they want to shop."
