Stor.ai was founded to assist grocers’ digital transformation needs by combining digital customer engagement across all touchpoints into one platform.

From ecommerce to picking to fulfillment, stor.ai supports grocers seeking to manage their digital transformation while maintaining their unique brand identities and preserving the loyalty of their customer base.
Charlie Ward Wright IV, the newly-appointed President, brings more than 20 years of experience working with retail technology to scale and develop high-performing optimization tools for grocers.
