RefillRoute

RefillRoute helps people locate scarce essentials (propane, bottled water, baby formula, fuel, ice, batteries) with higher confidence than random store-hopping. Users report real-time availability with photo proof, timestamp, and quantity bands (e.g., “<10 left”, “plenty”). The app scores each location’s reliability based on reporter history, recency, and corroboration, then suggests the best route to multiple stops to maximize odds. Businesses can optionally verify inventory via a lightweight portal, but the product doesn’t depend on integrations that most small retailers won’t maintain. It also supports “need lists” and sends alerts when nearby stock is confirmed. This is a mobile app with a small web dashboard for participating stores and moderators. It’s a combination traditional + AI app (AI used for trust scoring, duplicate detection, and photo validation).
