NearbyNow’s mission is to enable anyone, anywhere to find the nearest place to buy anything.
NearbyNow was founded to simplify shopping for today’s consumers who browse online but buy in stores. By allowing shoppers to find products, brands, or sales locally, and to scan the inventory at any given shopping center, we provide a convenient shopping experience for the consumer and an effective marketing tool for merchants looking to motivate local customers.
NearbyNow, Inc. was founded in 2005 by a management team of industry leaders and online shopping veterans with over 30 years of combined experience in e-commerce, inventory, data mining, emerging technologies, sales, merchandising, and marketing between them.
