INTRODUCING SHOPROUTE™
Shopping made
Smart.
Cart-mounted tablet navigation and self-checkout for grocery stores, without replacing a single cart.
WHAT IT IS
A smarter cart. The same store.
ShopRoute™ is a two-part hardware and software system that mounts directly onto existing grocery carts. Shoppers navigate the store, build their list, and check out from a tablet on the cart handle. Stores get smarter operations without the infrastructure overhaul.

WHY IT MATTERS
The market no one is serving.
$0.02
PER DOLLAR EARNED
For every dollar a grocery store brings in, they keep about two cents. Shrinkage (theft, waste, scanning errors) quietly takes another cut on top of that. The margin for error is nearly zero.
$1M+
TO DEPLOY COMPETITORS
Smart cart systems like Caper and Amazon Dash Cart cost $5,000 to $10,000 per unit. A store with 100 carts is looking at a million dollars in hardware before a single shopper uses it. Most independent grocers do the math and walk away.
45,000+
STORES WITHIN REACH
ShopRoute mounts onto the carts stores already own. No replacement. No fleet capital spend. The cost to deploy drops dramatically, and the technology finally becomes accessible to the stores that need it most.
45,000 US supermarkets.
Most of them priced out of every existing solution.
Until now.
WHERE WE ARE
Built. Filed. Moving.
