Complete 14-section document with technical details and market analysis
Independent retailers face a widening digital divide: large chains use complex platforms for ordering, inventory, and customer engagement while third-party delivery and marketplace services extract high fees. Convenience is an AI-driven platform that bridges this gap by combining:
- • A unified consumer marketplace with integrations to multiple delivery and discovery channels
- • An operations suite for real-time inventory management, order processing, demand forecasting, and marketing automation
- • A Collective Buying Engine that aggregates demand across similar stores to negotiate bulk pricing, rebates, and promotional displays
This document establishes prior art on the core innovations behind Convenience without disclosing proprietary details. It demonstrates how these innovations solve real-world problems and positions Convenience as a thought leader in retail technology.
