Food & Beverage

AI shopping assistant for Food & Beverage

Food and drink shoppers buy on trust and detail — ingredients, allergens, and dietary fit. One unanswered ‘does this contain…?’ ends the sale.

The silence

Where the sale slips away.

A shopper checking for nuts or a vegan label needs a definite answer. If the page buries it, caution wins and the cart is abandoned.

MerchantIQ answers in the moment, grounded in your catalog, so the question becomes a purchase instead of an exit.

Does this granola have any nuts?
This one is nut-free, though it’s made in a facility that also handles almonds — noted on the pack. The Berry variant is from our fully nut-free line.
Is it vegan?
Yes — plant-based, sweetened with dates, no honey. Keep it sealed and it lasts about 3 months.
