First and foremost, it's a family initiative, with sons and fathers with different profiles: the father in his fifties and the son who's just come of age! Two different backgrounds / two different generations: a lawyer on the one hand for the father, wishing to evolve through a business focused on sustainable development and the provision of services for all, and a business school student on the other for the son. Together, they wanted to create and provide services to the public, after having taken stock of the agri-food industry.
The agri-food situation is edifying: supply chains, costs, ecology, economics, mass imports, product quality, all against a backdrop of deteriorating purchasing power for the population living in France. This is an area that concerns the entire population, who are concerned for a variety of reasons. Firstly, economically and financially, as prices continue to rise. Secondly, access to healthy, sustainable, chosen and affordable food is becoming increasingly difficult, especially for the most disadvantaged. The application helps people to consume at the best price, but also to make consumer choices.
The application is designed to be simple and intuitive. After downloading it on your smartphone or tablet, you create an account by providing a few basic details. You can then search for products across multiple retailers (Action, Aldi, Auchan, Carrefour, Leclerc, Lidl, etc.), with no priority ranking.
During your searches, you can apply various filters (price, distance, Nutri-Score, origin, allergens, nutritional composition, etc.) to refine results according to your needs.
The application offers two versions:
* Free version: access to product search with essential filters and the ability to create a basket with up to 7 items.
* Premium version (€3.49/month): full access with unlimited products, advanced filters (organic, halal, gluten-free, vegetarian, etc.), and enhanced personalization. Filters can be combined to perfectly match your dietary preferences.
Once your selection is complete, you can validate your baskets and use your lists to shop:
* via click & collect
* through delivery services
* directly in-store
The application helps you organize your shopping efficiently according to your preferences.
Independence from commercial chainsFair pricing: enabling a financial gain for a given product. Eco responsibility: highlighting the carbon footprint of products, respectful consumption and the seasonal nature of foodstuffs.
Complete information for consumers on each product they select, enabling them to make a detailed and objective analysis so as to consume the best possible product at the best possible pricePromoting our agriculture and our terroirs: access to healthy, sustainable, chosen and affordable food is becoming increasingly difficult, especially for the most precarious people.
Public awareness of climate issues is also having a real impact on our consumption habits, as we want to eat better while limiting our carbon footprint. All this in the face of massive imports of products that do not respect European and French rules and constraints on quality, production methods or the use of chemicals. Last but not least, the application allows you to choose local, labelled and protected products.
The analysis of pricing and sales strategies is indisputable: significant price differences between supermarkets for a given product, promotions, etc. As a result, the ideal shopping cart, taking into account the above parameters, can only be built up in a single supermarket or retail outlet.
With Food Choice, the consumer has access to reliable information on product prices, origin, quality, etc., by comparing products again and again according to a wide range of criteria (price, origin, quality, seasonality, composition, etc.), in order to arrive at a well-performing shopping cart, based on a range of pre-defined choices. To achieve these comparisons, algorithms draw on all the databases published by supermarkets and hypermarkets throughout France, as well as on official product composition databases, enabling the user to select specific products and carry out precise searches according to choices such as price, origin, nutriscore, desired diet, degree of product processing, etc.
The user is then redirected to a list of all the products in the shopping basket. The user is then redirected to the retailer's website, where he or she can put together one or more shopping carts from one or more retailers, according to pre-defined options.
You can select products and add them to one or multiple baskets across different retailers. For each product, detailed information is available (composition, processing level, eco-score, etc.).
You can also:
* compare prices across different retailers
* save products as favorites
* view promotions via a dedicated filter or directly on product listings
