Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Despite a low-quality submission featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), external verification confirms GrocerBox is a legitimate, active business in Toronto founded in 2020. The 3-person team has secured impressive high-profile clients including Eataly Canada and Sanagan's Meat Locker, validating the solution's real-world utility and market fit. The platform offers white-label e-commerce and delivery logistics for independent grocers, a sector with strong post-pandemic demand. The score is bolstered significantly by verified traction and utility, though penalized for the unprofessional input data and localized (rather than global) reach.

Description
GrocerBox helps independent grocers get their physical inventory online and offer same day delivery, in store pickup and National shipping to their customers, powered by our delivery network of couriers across the US and Canada. \n\nWe allow grocers to differentiate themselves by building custom designed and branded online stores, that live directly on a store's web domain, as opposed to crowded marketplaces. This allows each grocer to represent their store's brand, offer promotions directly to their customers, capture all customer data, and offer loyalty programs to customers that link directly to their store.
