With Shping, it’s our goal to help consumers make safer, more informed decisions about the products they buy. Now they can also access information about any product just by scanning a barcode, to discover exactly what it’s made of, where each ingredient is from, whether it is certified and for some products, if it’s authentic.
The world loves to shop. Few activities satisfy our most primitive hunter and gatherer instincts as much as the act of shopping for that perfect purchase. Shopping is part of our everyday habits and a popular pastime that generates trillions of dollars for the global economy annually.
The mobile age has irrevocably changed our shopping habits forever. Today, we hunt and gather information in the palm of our hands - searching for information and seeking reviews and approvals before and after we take the product to the checkout counter.
Shping takes this to the next level. This innovative shopper marketing and brand protection platform enhances the path-to- purchase at every stage of the product journey, even after the customer has left the store. The Shping App enables shoppers to scan product barcodes to learn pertinent product information supplied by industry authorities and brands. It also enables consumers to check for authenticity, product recall status and product reviews contributed by other Shping users, all to enable consumers to make smarter, more informed purchase decisions.
Shping platform is an innovative self-service, shopper marketing system. In a similar way that digital advertising platforms are used to in uence sales online, Shping offers the ability for brands and retailers to market to consumers during shopping instances that occur in-store. Yet, unlike advertising platforms, Shping enables brands and retailers to channel their marketing budgets into rewarding the consumer directly for their attention and engagement instead of paying large sums to the media giants. That’s a win for businesses and an even bigger win for the customers who buy their products.
Shping Coins will become the currency that enables brands, retailers and associated organisations to utilise this powerful platform to in uence and reward consumers to make smarter, safer shopping choices.
Shping is on the verge of revolutionising the way we shop. As more and more consumers and organisations discover the bene t of the Shping platform, we see Shping Coin evolving into a desirable, new payment methodology.

The business model and vision are weak, any company can adopt the idea internally which will eliminate the need for Shping
Tracking the source on ingredient in depending on people/associations that put the information on the blockchain, in this case the blockchain is used just as store of information it can not validated if such information was real or fake

I read your white paper. It's very good and gave me all the details. Good project. However, the data is dependant on many other parties such as suppliers, clients, government etc. So, you need to setup a large platform to feed data to your project. Good luck.

Great team, but numbers don't mean much. Many members have no fit in the structure from what I can see.
Heavy reliance on marketing rather than the technology and how it works, the end user is not the customer the real value in this is collecting consumer data to sell to corporations and in return pay the consumer a small fraction of what you charged said corporation. Not what I call "visionary"
Product works, the technology is available, however the sustainability of it will highly depend on adoption by the corporate world. for the consumer it may have its moment of fame but i doubt it will continue once people get sick of being sent ads while they try to shop.
