Where to Buy announces its launch of the food and beverage industry’s most advanced data-rich store locator solution with actual in-store and online grocery location data. This premium, second-to-none Consumer Packaged Goods store locator software is designed specifically for food and beverage brands looking for complete and comprehensive store and product availability for a fraction of the cost of their competitors. Where to Buy sets the standard as the most feature-rich, affordable store locator solution by zeroing in on the food and beverage industry. The modern store locator uses innovative data collection to power CPG store locators with accurate, on-shelf product location availability.

Customizable and data-rich, Where to Buy is the new way to capture accurate product location data for CPG brands. After years of struggling to find a store locator solution that included accurate data without a hefty price tag, the company teamed up with CPG analytics leader Datasembly which led to the development of Where to Buy. By tapping into the modern way of grocery shopping, Datasembly's unique way of gathering data drove digital agency HackLab to develop the store locator they always wish they had when they were servicing their CPG clients. Where to Buy was created to include all the features fundamental to a successful store locator, including U.S & Canadian data, online grocer integration, robust analytics, data clean-up, and much more.
