We're creating an app that connects buyers with local retail stores for expedited delivery.
The startup aims to create a marketplace platform, specifically an app, that connects users with retail stores in shopping centers and malls for same-day or next-day product delivery. This platform differentiates itself from competitors like Amazon by utilizing local 'shoppers' stationed at designated malls to fulfill orders. This approach not only promises speed but also supports local businesses by driving sales through a digital channel.

For End Consumers: Limited Access to Immediate Support for Local Businesses Convenience and Time Savings For Retail Partners: Digital Presence and Online Sales Inventory Visibility Customer Reach and Marketing
The issue is clear in the evolved retail era with e-commerce. Online shopping's promised convenience falls short due to slow deliveries, non-personal service, and minimal local support.
Our app offers instant access to local retail inventory for consumers, while enabling stores to optimize their digital presence and reach.
ShopX leverages mobile development, cloud computing, real-time databases, LBS, payment gateways, AI/ML, and retail APIs for efficient, secure service.
ShopX aggregates orders for efficiency, notifies stores to reserve products, assigns shoppers for grouped delivery, ensuring quick and eco-friendly service.
Our startup bridges the gap between local retail stores and consumers seeking swift shopping, supporting community businesses and saving time.
