# Independent grocery software that keeps shelves, prices and online orders in step. ## Sound familiar? What independent grocery stores and delis tell us before a project starts. Public business listings show 2,049 independent grocery stores and delis in Massachusetts, and 39% are listed with no website. Source: Pushbuild crawl of Overture Maps place listings, October 2026. Chains excluded. - We change a price in the register and forget to change it online. - Weekly specials take hours to put into a flyer and on the website. - Online orders arrive in different places and get missed. - Supplier orders are written by hand from a walk around the shelves. - Catering and deli trays are taken by phone and written on paper. ## What we build Each one is a working piece you can open and check when it's done. ### Prices and stock in step Price and stock changes from your point of sale pushed to your online shop, so the website matches the shelf.

[Start with an Automation Audit](https://pushbuild.com/audit.html). ## Questions people ask first **Will this work with our register?** Most modern point-of-sale systems export or share sales and stock. We check yours before scoping. **Do we need an online shop?** No. Many stores start with specials and catering orders online and keep shopping in person. **Can delivery app orders come into the same list?** Often, yes, depending on what each app provides. We confirm which ones before building. **How do we start?** Tell us which register you use and where staff retype the most. We reply with questions or a written scope. ## Related [**Restaurants**Online ordering, reservations, menu updates, catering enquiries and daily sales reporting for restaurants, connected to your POS and the tools you already use..](https://pushbuild.com/for/restaurants.html)[**Retail**POS, inventory, online store, loyalty and reorders for independent retail stores, connected so stock counts and customer records agree..](https://pushbuild.com/for/retail.html)[**Bakeries**Online preorders, custom cake requests, pickup scheduling and daily bake lists for bakeries and dessert shops, linked to your POS..](https://pushbuild.com/for/bakeries.html)[**Catering**Quotes, orders, menus, prep lists, delivery schedules and invoicing for caterers, connected to the tools and accounting you already use..](https://pushbuild.com/for/catering.html) ## Tell us what you need built.
