Krillion's enhanced on-demand data service, which is available immediately to its business customers and partners, now provides accurate information about all available convenience-buying services, which helps online shoppers understand all of their local purchase options as they decide what to buy, and where to purchase it nearby.
Among the new real-time availability options included in Krillion's search results, and offered as part of its data services that span 30,000 national store locations:
• Product availability for immediate in-store pickup
• Product availability for online purchase
• Product availability on the retailer's website or online store

Real-time, local product availability, delivered in a highly structured and customizable format
Krillion's versatile data service enhances shopper engagement across all points along the manufacturer-agency-retailer value chain. It has direct and immediate relevance for: manufacturers looking for ways to connect online shoppers with in-stock product at nearby retailers; agencies that want to enhance rich-media online display ads with local product availability information; and retailers aiming to highlight special local offers at nearby store locations. The on-demand data service can also be adapted to power mobile applications, carrier decks, carrier portals, and can deliver location-aware information that can be integrated into in-app mobile ad campaigns.
"Today's shoppers want maximum convenience and a great price as they decide where to buy, and multichannel retailers have responded with a range of purchase and fulfillment options. Our data service now includes all these options, which means all our business partners can better engage with shoppers who intend to buy locally, wherever they are, present them with an aggregated view of all their buying options across retailers and then close the sale at a local store," said Sherry Thomas-Zon, CEO of Krillion.
