2. Our Mission
Our mission is to help consumers save billions
on their grocery shopping when they share
and compare prices on their mobile devices.

3. • The grocery basket is a “big ticket” item.
An average family of 5 spends $10,000 per year.
• Valuable marketing stack.
$600 billion market sales
$100 billion spent in advertising, promotions.
• Brands complain about the poor feedback loop
versus web.
• Nearly untouched by the mobile revolution in
shopping compared to other retail verticals.
• No price transparency.
Consumers don’t know what they don’t know.
Why Groceries?

4. Grocery Prices: Not Secret, Definitely Not Public
Prices and products are compelling content
Information that shoppers don’t have.
Calculations that shoppers never do.
Savings that shoppers don’t know about.
Shopping Plans Basket identical items
Store A $232
Store B $218
Store C $196
Store D $152
Shop the 2 best stores $150
Shop all 4 stores $140
Shop 2 stores and online $135
You can pay any of theses prices for an identical basket.

5. Pingwell has deep app experience
"Grocery Gadget's the most
fantastic app I've come across,"
she says. "It has absolutely
changed the way I shop. I
haven't written a shopping list
on paper since I got it.

8. Price Collection Technology
Many apps have barcode scanners, but these don’t help collect prices.
Collecting prices is not easy. Prices are displayed on a variety of non-standard
shelf labels as text. Pingwell has tapped computer vision experts to help us
develop proprietary image parsing technology that reads these labels under the
tough conditions found “in the wild”.
Our cloud-based data sharing
platform also hosts a proprietary
geo-sensitive grocery product
search engine. Combined with local
prices, collection pipeline transmits
the price data to our sharing
platform in seconds.
No other app in the space boasts
these Big Data features.

9. The Mobile Channel is Uniquely Powerful
Grocery Exchange
• Context is King. Experiments with Grocery Gadget show that CPG ads
in a shopping app are 20-50 times more productive than generic ads.
And there’s room for improvement!
• Targeted Messaging. Unique touches place relevant items and
suggestions near the moment of decision.
• Measurable Actions. A click stream with significance.
