Venzee Launches AI Software, Autopilot, for Merchants on Amazon, WooCommerce and Shopify

Venzee allows retailers to manage their stores through the power of artificial intelligence


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan. 16, 2018) - Venzee Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VENZ) ("Venzee" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the launch of an enhancement to its platform: Autopilot, an artificial intelligence ("AI") product that receives information from suppliers, and transforms this into rich, online products on Amazon, Shopify or WooCommerce using Venzee's platform.

Kate Hiscox, Founder and President of Venzee, commented, "Autopilot brings the power of artificial intelligence to retailers who wouldn't normally be able to afford, or build technology as sophisticated as Autopilot. This represents a substantial return on investments for our customers and retail partners who use our product".

Autopilot works by acting as an inbox for retailers. Suppliers send spreadsheets to Autopilot via email which based on the retailer's preferences, automatically transforms the information contained in these spreadsheets using Venzee's platform into content rich, error free products that are added to solutions like Amazon and Shopify, automatically.

A store can be integrated with Autopilot in four simple steps; Register at https://venzee.com, share your email with supply chain, customize output settings to get your desired results, and connect your online store in less than sixty (60) seconds.

"The addition of Autopilot to the Venzee platform is a game changer for up and coming retailers" continued Ms. Hiscox, "Suppliers use spreadsheets to share new products and updates with retailers which creates a labour-intensive and costly step in their workflow. With Autopilot, it's as simple for retailers as sharing a new email address with their supply chain."

Currently, Autopilot supports Amazon, Shopify and WooCommerce. Learn more at https://venzee.com.
