- Shopper — Industry leading NPS, Shopper.com.br is the best replenishment system for Brazilian consumers."Reducing our loss of time and money with repetitive activities" Shopper.com.br is a startup whose mission is to build a more efficient world, where essential products arrive at people's homes as easily as water arrives at the tap. Ourview of "efficiency" is complete: we look at both the waste of resources along the production and distribution chain of products and services (which generate unnecessarily high prices for the final consumer), and the waste of resources and time that end consumers spend to find, buy and enjoy these products and services. Our mission is to build a more efficient world in this direction. A world where people lose less money and time with monotonous, routine, everyday, unnecessary activities. We want to build such a world using innovative technology and business models, always with highly qualified and committed people on the team. Our first challenge is to improve the efficiency of the distribution chain and supply of essential consumer products: cleaning products, personal hygiene and non-perishable food. We do this through our online platform for monthly sales and deliveries of grocery products. Our recurrence model allows us to have no inventory and have high predictability of demand, generating efficiency, which is passed on to consumers in the form of lower prices (~10% cheaper).
