Shopitize Set To Revolutionise UK With New Savvy Shopping Experience

March 14, 2012 - PRLog -- Revolutionary website and app creates whole new kind of Smart Brit shopper.

A new and visionary concept in smart and ‘savvy’ shopping has been launched today by Shopitize.

Shopitize.com (http://shopitize.com) is a free and innovative platform designed to make managing shopping fun and easy - by applying powerful smartphone technology to the humble shopping receipt.

Shoppers simply snap a photo of their paper shopping receipts using a smartphone app and let Shopitize do the rest.  Initially, Shopitize will provide unlimited receipt storage, smart shopping lists and personalised spending reports.  

And the best is yet to come: the new shopping experience will put consumers in charge of the shopping data collected on them for the very first time.

This means that as more people join the Shopitize revolution, more brands can start to provide personal rewards and offers, turning the smartphone into the ultimate 21st century shopping assistant.

“Shopitize launched with the vision to directly connect consumers with the brands they love, while putting them in control of and protecting their shopping data,’ said Shopitize co-founder, Irina Pafomova.

“When we carried out our research, the question every shopper asked, was: Really!? Can this be done?” We were delighted to say … ‘Yes’!’ Simply by taking a snap of their receipts means consumers will be able to receive individually tailored offers from brands as a reward for their loyalty.

“We are excited to launch this innovation in shopping in the UK. Unlike many ideas which originate in Silicon Valley and later come to the Britain, Shopitize was originated in the UK, which has both the most innovative and exciting retail market, and the most forward-thinking shoppers.”

Shopitize was established in 2010 by a highly experienced, talented team of entrepreneurs and has raised over £1m from global investors. Currently the Shopitize experience in is public Beta, offering:

*   Free Receipt Storage
Shoppers can declutter their lives by uploading, viewing, and editing digital versions of their receipts. With unlimited, anytime access via the web, shoppers can throw away the shoebox and now easily separate between personal and business receipts.  

*   Smart Shopping Reminders
Predictive personal shopping lists are automatically created by analyzing shopper’s regular purchases. Smart Shopping Reminders will become more accurate as the system learns more about a shopper, so they never forget when it’s time to buy milk, pet food, or anything else again.

*   Personalised Spending reports
Shoppers can better understand their own personal spending habits and see exactly where every penny goes by shopping category. Shoppers can learn fun facts about their shopping behaviour such as whether they really spend more on baby formula, beer or brunch. “At Shopitize, we want to make learning about and managing your shopping fun” said Irina Pafomova.

“We are only at the beginning of the journey. The more people that join Shopitize, the better the system will become” added Irina Pafomova. “This takes the hard work out of shopping and frees the mind for other things!

“Overtime, Shopitize will become like a personal shopping assistant - sending individualised offers and bargains, tailored just for each savvy shopper from the brands they love the most.”
