Shopitize.com is a fresh and revolutionary shopping platform designed to link consumers directly with brands.
Shopitize members use a smartphone app to quickly and easily snap photos of paper shopping receipts, which are automatically uploaded to the Shopitize website.
Currently, the site offers free and unlimited digital receipt storage on the web where UK shoppers can monitor their daily spending, offering them valuable insight into their personal shopping habits.
But the best is yet to come: the new Shopitize shopping experience will put consumers in charge of the data collected on them, for the very first time.
This means that as more people join the Shopitize revolution, more brands will provide personal rewards and offers, turning the Shopitize smartphone app into the ultimate 21st Century shopping assistant.
“We are excited to be the first to bring this innovation to the UK,’ said Dr Alexey Andriyanenko. “Unlike many ideas which are developed in Silicon Valley and exported abroad, Shopitize was originated in the UK”.
“One unique aspect to our system is the seamless integration between the web and the mobile app. Automatic sync between the web and mobile provides users access to their key shopping info while on the go. And for users with larger screens, the website provides an even richer data experience with customisable spending reports.“
“Over time, the Shopitize system will learn as more users join, making it even easier for shoppers to manage their purchases. And more importantly, as the number of shoppers increases, so too will the type of rewards they will receive.”
Shopitize was established in 2010 by a highly-experienced, talented team of entrepreneurs and has raised £1m from global investors.
