Pioneering the future of commerce  
 Hello product hunt community!!  
 My name is Elias and I am the founder of Kuuka. 
 At KuuKa we believe It’s time to change the old and outdated way brands place their products with supermarkets and retailers.  
 As a business owner when you are just starting out or looking to scale your business, time is everything. Most business owners have to go through an exhaustive process to get their products placed on shelves in leading supermarkets and retailers. Then when you finally get your products placed on the shelves your brand is at a huge disadvantage as the incentive lies with the retailers and supermarkets. Brands have little to no control of how and where they want their products to be placed. They have no access to data and lose out on potential revenue due to planogram.  We thought long and hard about how we can help small businesses to have the technology and all the tools they need to compete. Here is our solution: Meet Kuuka!!
 Kuuka matches direct consumer brands to local stores within neighbourhoods renting out shelf space where you can place your products. Find whatever space you need, where and when you need it. Kuuka gives your business the commercial space solutions it needs minus the headaches of upfront capital and lengthy leases. This allows your business to scale quickly and have pick up locations without you having to open your own physical store. 
 Wait, this is more. With KuuKa you can start, run and manage your own online store and deliver to your customers within 1 hour.  
 Why Kuuka? 
 Visibility and Automation 
 * Automated processes and real-time visibility from placing order to when the order is en-route. Brands and their customers will always know where the order is at all times.  
 Brand Control 
 * Stay in control of your brand identity. Get access to shopper trends and behaviour, customer engagement and sales data which you own at your fingertips. 
 Product Placement  
 * As a brand you lose out on potential revenue due to planogram : a diagram or model that indicates the placement of retail products on shelves to maximise sales. Ditch this old and outdated process by placing your products with Kuuka's network of local convenience stores and retailers to stock your products on their shelves. Reach more customers and increase sales.  
 It’s not long until we launch and we are currently doing beta testing. 
 I would love to hear your feedback. Please comment and let us know any requests that you may have!. We are constantly trying to improve and your feedback will go a long way.

excellent idea, it doesn't work much in PH due to the issue of being local but surely this will work and it will be replicated quickly
Elias Kuyela
@kevin_zepeda I don’t think the idea of being replicable is bad it’s actually the opposite. It means that we have a viable business and will have competition.

@kuuka that's just my point, it's a good idea congratulations on the release. I wish you the best
