Please review the offering memorandum for complete information THE PROBLEM: REAL-TIME PRICE COMPARISONS ARE EXTREMELY VALUABLE BUT TIME CONSUMING Consumer Transparency Gap: Shoppers have limited tools for easily comparing prices across retailers in real-time. Manual Pricing Efforts: Many retailers rely on time-consuming manual processes to update pricing data and track competitors, often involving spreadsheets updated by checking websites one item at a time. Lack of Real-Time Insights: Without accurate, up-to-date pricing information, retailers risk losing margins or missing opportunities to win customers. Lost Revenue Potential: Inefficient pricing strategies and outdated data lead to reduced profitability and competitiveness. Ask Yourself This: Have you ever wondered if the prices you're seeing online are actually the best prices available in your area? It takes a lot of extra work to dig through other locations and company websites to find the answer. Let's take a look at the BuildClub solution that INSTANTLY shows you powerful comparative pricing results directly in your browser while on the official retailer website. Buildclub's Big Data Solution for Comparative Shopping 1. PriceFinder Browser Extension: For Consumers: Instantly compare prices across retailers like Home Depot, Lowe’s, Amazon, and Ace Hardware while shopping on official retailer websites. For example, a customer can be on Home Depot’s website and see the prices for the same item at other nearby Home Depot locations, Lowe’s, Ace and more - all without leaving the page you’re on. For Retailers: PriceFinder Pro integrates directly into wholesale platforms (e.g., AceNet and Orgill) to show retailers the real-time competitive prices for items they’re purchasing, helping them make better decisions. When scaled up as a wholesale technology, BuildClub becomes even more valuable. 2.
