You have just described a value-add B2B SaaS; offers integration into existing retailer's online shopping portals.
If this doesn't exist, give it six months and it will. If you want to try and swing something like this and need an extra set of hands, my email is in my profile.
- onlyrealcuzzo 8y agoThere's literally dozens of people who have tried to do this recently and failed, and dozens more still trying to do it. How do you make money? How do you acquire customers cheaper than it costs to provide the service?
- all2 8y agoYou don't go after the consumer. Consumers don't care enough and, as you said, the marketplace is glutted. Instead, sell to grocery store chains that have existing infrastructure. In fact, you don't even build an app. Instead you offer an API that they can call when they want to implement this sort of functionality. Optionally, you offer to do the integration (though this seems like it could make for an awful headache). Make sure the docs are good and the customer service is better. The point is to give the grocery chains a value add that their competition doesn't have: a way to plan meals effectively and order all the ingredients. There are some very relevant comments elsewhere in this thread that call out waste, which is a problem I'm not sure how to solve.
