Together, Locally and ENDVR are setting a new standard for retail success by bridging the gap between digital convenience and personalized in-store expertise.

Partnering with ENDVR, Locally allows brands to promote and bias towards retailers' expertise when it directs shoppers to local stores or in-stock inventory. Shoppers can see the nearby shops that can buy specific products and stores that have the most expertise in selling and servicing those products.

“We are committed to equipping brands and local retailers with the tools to excel in today’s digital landscape,” said Mike Massey, CEO and founder of Locally. “Our partnership with ENDVR goes beyond simply showing where products are in stock, it highlights retailers that have invested in training their staff to sell, support, and even use the products. This added layer of intelligence transforms the shopping experience, ensuring customers receive the products they need and the expertise that enhances their use and satisfaction. It’s a win for everyone involved.”

"Having worked in retail for over 20 years, I know that the success of a brand starts with the knowledge and engagement of the front-line retail sales associates,” said Steve Gendron, co-founder and CEO of ENDVR. “Our integration with Locally empowers brands to educate their retail teams at scale and reward stores for excellence with badges displayed directly on Locally's dealer locator. This gives customers the confidence they're shopping at a top-performing, knowledgeable store while providing retailers with tangible recognition for their efforts. We're delighted to bring this next level of brand and store collaboration to the market."
