Our open-source solution directly addresses the significant time wasted shopping, which is primarily caused by customers struggling to locate products. This fragmented and stressful experience is eliminated by creating a digital map of every aisle and shelf. Shoppers can now walk straight to the exact location of any item, from a specific type of almond milk to a broader category of dairy products, without any guesswork.
The platform goes beyond simple navigation by integrating live product availability and marketing insights to ensure every trip is both productive and cost-effective. Before leaving home, you can confirm the store's operating hours for any given day and instantly view active percentage-based offers or buy-one-get-one deals that apply specifically to the items you plan to purchase.
While the primary technical focus is on solving the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) for optimal routing, we offer designated client interfaces and APIs. These are not just for the customer, but for several other key actors involved in the retail ecosystem: Employees, Store Owners, and Brand Owners. Each group is provided with a distinct set of responsibilities, authorizations, and goals, detailed further in their respective profiles.
