BoughtStuff
Because Paper Manuals Are Useless
About
BoughtStuff is an innovative mobile app for the retail industry. This is your single source of online content about all your home appliances and personal electronics. How-to videos, PDF manuals, discounts from retailers, and more.
Take pictures of your stuff for insurance record keeping, and barcode-scan the model number. Our BoughtCloud database automatically pushes relevant content about your product to your device. Use your Facebook login to gain access to your personal inventory from your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, or from our website.
The platform launched in late 2012 in San Fransisco is aimed at reducing product returns through improved customer education about their purchases, and at improving customer engagement with retailers and brands.
