Why it matters

Meta knows the business. Google knows the place. SnapAct can know the shelf.

The valuable gap is not another store directory. It is knowing what is actually available, where it is, how fresh the proof is, and whether a buyer can act on it now.

For brands

Track stock coverage, low-stock pressure, price changes, and city/category gaps across verified local shops.

For platforms

Search verified local stock near a buyer and route them to a real SnapAct partner item or store profile.

For distributors

Use freshness and out-of-stock alerts to decide where replenishment should happen before demand is missed.

Built for trust

Why the data is worth syndicating.

Inventory data is only valuable if buyers, brands, and platforms can rely on it. Every verified row is engineered for that.

Shelf-snap proof

Partners verify inventory by uploading a fresh shelf or stock photo tied to an item and quantity.

Freshness windows

Nearby inventory responses only surface recently verified stock, so stale catalog rows do not become a promise.

Server-side keys

Connect API keys are created in the partner dashboard, shown once, scoped, revocable, and never meant for browsers.

Partnership review

Build on verified local stock data before the market catches up.

Use SnapAct Connect for platform discovery, brand intelligence, distributor replenishment, POS sync, and future local inventory feeds.
