What is the Skerou story?

Skerou is a tale of three young entrepreneurs : Gregory was sick and tired of losing track of all his purchases and having to make shopping list upon shopping list, only to head back to the supermarket to buy those forgotten groceries… not to mention wasting time cutting out coupons for discount items!

Together with Ludovic, he got started on this project: the creation of a mobile application that is able to collate all your purchases by scanning your receipts, in order to help you draw up shopping lists and take advantage of any special promotions. In january 2011, they became campers. Today, the product is ready and you can download it on the App store.

Having been joined by David, over the last 12 months these three IT musketeers, who have vowed to put the power back into the hands of the consumer, have been working away, slaving away, wasting away, in order to develop a highly innovative program which is able, through nothing more than a photo of a receipt, to analyze, understand and record any information regarding purchases, in order to give them back to the consumer in the form of services

Trough Skerou, consumers can put together their future shopping lists and take advantage of a range of special promotions.

Well, I tried, the application is quite impressive. “It may seem like magic“, says Grégory Thurin, President at Skerou, “but behind the scenes there is some seriously complex technology to go from a photo of a receipt to the understanding of the purchases found in the shopping cart“.
