Hate grocery shopping? This is how AVOCADO's "Pie" will fix it

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- A little-known Silicon Valley startup, AVOCADO, is poised to potentially disrupt the way millions of Americans shop for groceries and other household items. AVOCADO's "Pie", an IOT device using sensors and machine learning, automatically tracks consumption and orders items weekly. Consumers are delivered their groceries at their doorstep by AVOCADO's delivery partners such as local stores, grocery services, food distributors etc.

Pie creates a new segment of consumers who do not shop for groceries except for recreational purposes. With current home automation solutions such as Amazon Dash, Amazon Echo, Google Home etc. - a solution that works for an item does not work for others. With Groceries, ordering 30 - 40 items weekly one-by-one is cumbersome. AVOCADO's Pie makes it all effortless. Since Pie is agnostic to the type of the item, its use could be extended to all consumables at home. http://lifehacker.com/5935295/i-hate-grocery-shopping-this-is-how-i-fixed-it.

Now groceries are always stocked so we cook at home regularly and eat healthier." AVOCADO prides itself in the way it treats its customers.
