Store Locator

Store-locator.com, which markets itself as StoreLocators, operates as a business-to-business software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider focused on bridging the gap between a brand's online presence and its physical retail partners. The company was founded by CEO Ivan Sanchez, a seven-year engineering and data science veteran from Shopify, and VP of Engineering Landon Silla, an engineering leader from three previously acquired startups. Sanchez's background includes engineering Shopify Capital and creating a patented carbon-neutral system for orders, while Silla has experience building real-time ad measurement software and analytics platforms used by Fortune 100 companies.

The core of the business is a sophisticated store locator tool designed for brands that sell their products through third-party retailers. The platform moves beyond simple map listings by integrating real-time product inventory data, allowing a customer on a brand's website to see which nearby stores, such as Target or Walmart, currently have specific products in stock. This service is designed to increase online conversion rates and drive in-store sales by showing product availability directly on a brand's product pages. Revenue is generated through flexible, flat-rate subscription pricing tailored to each brand's specific needs.

The company's proprietary 'Retail Engine' actively monitors over 100,000 store locations to provide this real-time inventory and sales data. A key feature is its AI-powered automatic product discovery, which uses brand-specific keywords to find and track products across various retailers, eliminating the need for manual data entry by the client. The setup process is designed to be completed in minutes. StoreLocators also offers a 'Retail Presence Indicator' widget that acts as a trust badge, which the company claims increases locator usage by over 300%. For brands using Shopify, the platform integrates to sync product catalogs and, for Shopify POS users, captures store and inventory data for a unified view of their retail operations. The service includes an analytics suite that provides clients with insights into retail performance, sell-through data, and competitive intelligence.
