PartPic has developed proprietary, patent-pending visual recognition software poised to digitally streamline the industrial parts industry’s entire value and supply chain (manufacturer to retailer to end-user). Industrial distributors, retailers and suppliers license the technology which is designed for seamless cross-platform integration (websites/mobile apps). A given company’s entire replacement parts inventory becomes part of PartPic’s vast database. An end-user in search of a part takes a photo through the PartPic app and said part is searched, identified by specific type and a point of sale is provided to facilitate ease of purchase; all made possible though PartPic’s detailed feature extraction algorithm. Beyond screws and rivets, the application possibilities are vast. Currently in Beta.

Its ambitious mission addresses three identified needs with a view to catalyzing sustainable growth economies within neighborhoods: (Labor) providing retirees, stay-at-home parents, immigrants and historically underemployed groups with dignified, profitable and self-sufficient work; (Food Justice) cooks turn cultural and family know-how into a vehicle for a living wage while providing cross-cultural food exchange, community bonding and uplift with a nutritional value-add; and (Tech Equity) technology becomes more inclusive through food, as vetted cooks who may not normally have access to or be comfortable with computers/smartphones are trained to manage, maintain and grow their businesses via the platform. #NeedEconomy
