Apps for local shops

Buy from the shop down the street.

Apps that make the shops in your own town as easy to use as the warehouse that ships overnight.

Why these exist

Convenience is easy to buy. A town full of good shops is not.

The shop is already there

The bookstore on the corner often has the book you want. It just can't tell you from your couch. These apps let it.

Two sides, one shelf

Boekstore is two apps. Readers use Community, and shops use Stockroom. What a reader sees is what is actually on the shelf, because the shop's own stock feeds it.

The money stays local

You buy through the shop's own checkout, pick up or have it delivered. The sale, and the relationship, belong to the shop.
