Build it and they will come

Collaborative Economies of Scale

Indieversa™

Indieversa is a business management tool designed to simplify and encourage independent, local shopping ecosystems. Whether you manage a farm, a restaurant or a catering business, a consignment store or maker market, a last-mile delivery service, or you are a hobby seller, Indieversa has the tools to make your life easier. What makes Indieversa extra unique, however, is the way it facilitates and simplifies collaboration between independent businesses.

For consumers, Indieversa is designed to make local shopping as convenient as shopping from major online retailers.

The basics

Inventory management, ecommerce for online sales: Pricing, availability, and sales management by venue or date for growers and makers, restaurants, retail, and hobby sellers. All easily managed from your phone, tablet, or computer.

Private pricing by customer list for wholesalers. Integrated waitlisting and chat features. Online sales with a card, or without requiring payment up front. On-site sales with a physical card, QR codes, payment links, or integration with a cash box or register.

Collaboration Made Easy

Convenience, price, and quality drive the buyer's decision. Small businesses typically win on quality, but lose on price and convenience. Now even big brands are losing to each other on the convenience requirement.

Indieversa makes it easy for independent businesses to collaborate and create economies of scale for buyers... think farmers markets, collaborative home delivery services running weekly routes, and consignment stores.

One account, many storefronts

Create or join collaborations easily, like maker markets, holiday fairs, or street fairs. Your products show on your store and on the collaboration's store with no extra effort. Easily set variable pricing and availability by venue or date, or keep them all identical.

Other online marketplaces require the sellers to manage their product catalog and pricing in a place that is specific to the marketplace, which causes the seller to have to manage all of that in 2 places... the seller's main website and store plus the marketplace. Indieversa flips that script... sellers manage their catalog and pricing in one account and can simultaneously list those products in the online stores of the collaborations they join with literally zero extra effort.

For Entrepreneurs and Visionaries

Super Communities within the Verse

The Indie Shopping Verse is not another basic online marketplace. Indieversa makes it easy to manage multiple online storefronts with collaborative online markets, and Super Communities are how we organize all of those Indieversa stores and collaborative markets into a search experience tailored to that community.

Democratized collaborative markets

Any member can create shared venues for other members, which turns that member into a host... for that venue. Prospective customers visiting the store of the host and selecting the shared venue for their order will see products and logos of participating members and the host's products if any.

Customers check out once for all items in their basket, while Indieversa processes the card transaction separately in the background for each participating member.

groups

Democratized last-mile delivery

Members create venues to coordinate sales. A venue can be a place where a customer picks up their order or a delivery option. Restrict delivery orders by zip code. Hosts of collaborative venues can offer delivery instead of pickup, thus creating a virtual collaborative market for home or business delivery.
