Mobile shopping app update gives consumers customizable deals alerts on your favorite products
Monolith Technologies, announced the holiday release of its mobile shopping platform ShopSavvy. The ShopSavvy App has over 40 million downloads worldwide is the leading shopping app for holiday season deal hunters. The team has spent the last year building the application from the ground up with a re-imagined architecture that introduces a brand-new way to track deals, so shoppers never miss a great sale either for their holiday shopping or for sales throughout the year. This update includes over half a million local and online retailers across the world, our most comprehensive and inclusive store coverage ever.
ShopSavvy will never show a product or offer based on ad revenue. ShopSavvy’s brand promise is to only surface the very best deals at the top of its product search platform.
“Since the team re-acquired the ShopSavvy assets October 2018 we’ve been working on a complete re-architecture that gives customers access to real time product search and deal alerts like no other service commercially available today.” said John S. Boyd, CEO of Monolith.
“My favorite feature in this new release may be keyword search which can be used both in store for product search or on the couch at home. Nobody on the team trusts anything else to check for the best deal. We don’t think the last page has been written in mobile commerce and want to level the playing field for consumers, online retailers, and local stores.”
Monolith believes technology should be used to empower customer choice so they can always get the best deal and are not forced to buy from just one dominating retailer. ShopSavvy users can customize their alerts to display the latest deals from their favorite brands and stores whether large, small, online or local. Instead of sorting through emails from 20 different stores to track sales on products and brands, consumers can follow specific items to find out when those products go on sale at any particular retailer.
“The new ShopSavvy takes deal hunting to the next level by proactively alerting users when a deal is available on any item or search term in real time for both online merchants and your local store,” explained Boyd. “Let’s say a shopper is interested in a particular Samsung television. That shopper can use ShopSavvy to be notified when that exact model television goes on sale at any retail store that carries it whether online or local and receive both general deals and customized offers to them.”
With more than 40 million downloads, ShopSavvy rose to prominence as a barcode scanning mobile app for head-to-head price comparisons. Shoppers can use the scanner or simple keyword entry to search for online and local product deals. They can then save these searches to be notified if a deal of interest becomes available.
ShopSavvy has evolved into a complete shopping app for users to discover, shop and save. The app aggregates product prices, deals, and ratings from more than half a million retailers worldwide and partners to provide the most comprehensive source of independent and unbiased information and advice for shoppers.
