NearSt’s mission is to get people back into high street shops. Our retail tech platform makes shops’ in-store inventory data visible to the internet, so that anyone anywhere can see what’s in stock in their local shop. Companies like Google and Facebook use our technology to show live in-store inventory on their platforms to millions of shoppers searching nearby, sending online shoppers into physical stores. The world of retail is changing dramatically, and shoppers are going online to find products offline, locally more than ever. At NearSt we all share a common vision that what we’re building will define the future of how everyone shops, and get people all around the world back into high street shops.
