BrandSlice

BrandSlice is a software platform that helps independent retailers and the brands they stock drive shoppers into physical stores. It pulls inventory data from retailers' point-of-sale systems and uses it to keep online stores accurate and to show in-stock products in local searches. BrandSlice has since joined forces with Locally, a buy-nearby platform.

What BrandSlice does

• Inventory sync: POS integrations that keep e-commerce listings matched to what is on the shelves.
• Automatic product content: new products, variants, images and descriptions from brands added to retailers' online stores.
• Local inventory ads: in-stock products shown on Google and Bing "near me" searches, with store visits tracked.
• Inventory-aware social ads: geo-targeted social media adverts for local markets.
• Shared social publishing: brands create posts once and share them through connected retailers and influencers.
• Pickup promotion: telling shoppers about reserve or buy online, pick up in store options.
