Taking search right to the shelf

June 20, 2011 by Doug Stephens — President, Retail Prophet Consulting

If you’ve ever searched for a product on your mobile device that you wanted to find and buy right away, you know what you mostly get back are a mix of results, many of which are for online sellers who may or may not even have what you’re looking for. What you don’t currently get is information on local retailers that not only carry the product but have it in stock, ready to buy right now.

Retailigence, a Palo Alto California based company, is looking to change all that by supplying search tools and location based services with retailer-specific inventory information.

I talked with Retailigence’s Jeremy Geiger to find out more about how the technology works and it’s potential to change the way we search for products online.
