Explore GatherCart, a custom grocery app for shoppers, store teams and supermarket chains. Canonical page: https://launchautomation.ai/experience/gathercart # From “what’s for dinner?” to a basket from your store. Give shoppers a grocery app that turns recipes, meals and party plans into products on your shelves. Quantities, suggested swaps and aisle guidance help them shop. Your store team stays ready to help. ## Start with the meal. Make the whole trip shoppable. - **A shopper plans** A craving or party size becomes a meal plan and ingredient list. - **The store makes it shoppable** Ingredients connect to store products, package quantities and aisle locations. - **The team supports the trip** Staff help with substitutions while managers monitor catalog freshness. ## The recipe is inspiring. The shopping trip should be easier. ### “What else do I need?” A recipe names ingredients, not packages on your shelves. Translate ingredients into products and useful quantities. ### “We’re hosting twelve.” Planning the food is only part of planning a gathering. Bring mains, sides, pairings and supplies into the occasion. ### “Where can I find it?” A good plan stalls when the product or aisle is unclear. Give shoppers aisle guidance and a path to store help. ## A custom app for your business. Without the traditional custom-app price. GatherCart shows what is possible. We customize the branding, content, customer journey and staff workflows for your business. Your customers use your experience. ### Built around your brand. Your logo, colors, products, services, locations and way of working. Start with a proven foundation and make the experience your own. ### A 70% to 90% savings target. Our goal is to reduce build cost by 70% to 90% versus a comparable from-scratch experience app, by adapting an existing foundation instead of rebuilding every component. ### Live in as little as 1 week. Straightforward projects can go live within a week once scope, content and access are ready. We confirm your schedule before the work begins.

It helps a shopper turn a recipe, meal idea or event into a store-specific list. GatherCart demonstrates product matching, pack quantities, substitutions and aisle guidance. ### Can GatherCart use our store’s full inventory? The production plan can include your full eligible catalog. We first review product identifiers, pack sizes, inventory feeds and update frequency. The demo uses sample store data. ### What happens when inventory information is old? The experience should disclose stale or uncertain availability and offer help. A feed does not guarantee a product is still on the shelf. Checkout remains the source of the final price. ### Can it replace our ecommerce checkout? That is a separate scope decision. The core journey helps shoppers plan and navigate the store. Ecommerce, loyalty and payment connections depend on your existing systems and their APIs. ### How much does a custom GatherCart app cost? Your quote depends on the workflows, locations, data and integrations in scope. Our goal is to reduce build cost by 70% to 90% versus a comparable from-scratch experience app, by reusing an existing foundation. That is a savings target, not a guarantee. We separate build work, ongoing services and third-party costs in your proposal. Book a demo for a tailored quote. ### How quickly can our app launch? A focused launch can sometimes be ready within a week after scope, content and access are ready. Catalog imports, integrations, approvals and complex rollouts need more time. Your proposal confirms the schedule. ### Will the app use our name and work on mobile? Yes. We tailor your logo, colors, content and agreed workflows. The web experience runs on supported phones, tablets and computers without an app-store download. Your device and access requirements are tested before launch. ## Make your store part of every meal plan. Show us how your stores manage products and inventory.
