Concept: Supermarket API is an open source application-programming interface specifically designed for the grocery industry. Developed by AisleFinder, an online and mobile solution for item navigation in grocery locations, the solution is designed to provide easy access to supermarket and grocery product data. Although this data typically is difficult to obtain and update, Supermarket API gives executives access to necessary information to tackle this challenge and excel in the space. The application is powered by the technology that fuels the AisleFinder mobile and web properties.
Team: San Francisco-based AisleFinder, the parent company of Supermarket API, is active in the retail navigation space. Its Supermarket API team designed, coded and conceptualized the solution.
Market Relevance: Supermarket API helps developers create solutions for the grocery industry. Research from Symphony IRI reveals that a majority of consumers (75%) are planning and making shopping lists at home, versus 45% in 2008. As a result, retailers must innovate and implement new technologies to better serve these new, research-savvy shoppers.
