DoveConviene, now operating under the ShopFully Group, is a technology company that provides a digital, geo-localized platform for discovering local store promotions, flyers, catalogues, and deals from major retailers across categories like food, electronics, clothing, and more.[1][2][4][5] It serves millions of consumers worldwide via websites and free mobile apps on iOS, Android, and other platforms, helping users find nearby offers while driving foot traffic to physical stores for retailers and brands.[1][3][4] The platform solves the problem of fragmented promotion discovery by centralizing geo-targeted information on deals, store locations, hours, and products, with early growth fueled by EU funding and over €20 million in venture capital, reaching 13 million users by 2015 and scaling to 45 million globally.[1][2][4]
DoveConviene was founded in 2010 (with some sources noting 2011 or 2012) in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy, by entrepreneurs Alessandro Palmieri (handling marketing and technology) and Stefano Portu (responsible for business and sales).[1][2][3][4] The idea emerged as a digital equivalent to paper leaflets, preserving the environment while delivering retailer catalogues via email or mobile apps to users near stores, starting with over 60 brands and 10,000 stores in Italy.[1] Early traction came from EU funding from the Sardinia Region, rapid user growth to 7 million in Italy, and international expansion to Mexico, Brazil, Spain, the US, and Indonesia under brands like ShopFully, Dondelocompro, and AondeConvem, supported by funding rounds including €3.5 million from Principia SGR in 2013 and €5.2 million from 360 Capital Partners and Merifin in 2014.[1][2][4]
DoveConviene rides the trend of omnichannel retail, bridging digital discovery with physical shopping amid the decline of print flyers and rise of mobile commerce.[1][3][4][7] Its timing capitalized on smartphone proliferation and post-2010 startup ecosystems in Europe, boosted by EU funding and VC interest in adtech/retail tech, influencing the ecosystem by becoming Europe's leading drive-to-store platform via partnerships that help retailers combat e-commerce dominance.[1][2][4] Market forces like consumer demand for localized deals and retailers' need for measurable foot traffic favor its model, with expansions and AI tools positioning it as a key player in hyperlocal marketing.[4][7]
ShopFully (DoveConviene) will likely deepen AI-driven personalization and expand drive-to-store solutions amid growing retail digitization and economic pressures favoring deals.[4][7] Trends like hyperlocal intelligence and in-store analytics will shape its path, potentially through more acquisitions or global partnerships, evolving its influence from a leaflet aggregator to a full retail media powerhouse. This builds on its founding mission of smart, local shopping, sustaining momentum from 45 million users toward dominant ecosystem integration.[3][4]
DoveConviene has raised $21.6M across 3 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $11.0M Series C in September 2015.
