Discovery and browsing
Users can search the catalog, browse items, and discover active products that already have split requests.
Bulk shopping, without the bulk waste
Split bulk purchases with people nearby
eolma connects you with people nearby who want to split bulk purchases. Instead of skipping a great value pack because it is too large, you can create a split request, find interested people nearby, chat in-app, and arrange pickup.
Real local use case
Designed for bulk packs that are too much for one household
Built around trust
Chat, ratings, and profile context are part of the core product experience
Product flow
How eolma works
eolma helps users turn a bulk item into a visible local split opportunity that other people can join.
1
Discover or upload an item
If the item already exists in the catalog, a user can create a split request immediately. If it does not exist yet, or the pricing is outdated, they can upload a new image to add it or refresh the pricing.
2
Create a split request
The split request becomes visible to other users who can discover it and decide whether they want to participate in the split.
3
Chat, confirm, and arrange pickup
Participants coordinate timing, payment details, and handoff without leaving the app.
The problem
Bulk value is great, but the purchase size is wrong for many people
A lot of shoppers want bulk-store value without committing to oversized packs or excess waste.
Single people, couples, and small households often cannot justify full bulk quantities
Friends and flatmates are not always available at the exact moment a purchase is made
Existing marketplaces are too broad and too slow for quick, local split coordination
The solution
eolma turns bulk splitting into a structured local marketplace workflow
Local discovery
Users can browse available items and split requests relevant to their area.
Real-time messaging
Participants coordinate interest, acceptance, pickup, and payment inside the product.
Repeat trust loops
Ratings and profile information help identify reliable split partners over time.
Input
Users upload real products they want to split
The product experience is designed around real store purchases and the coordination needed to split them.
Match
Interested buyers join and confirm
The split request workflow keeps status changes visible and coordinated for both sides.
Complete
Chat, handoff, then rate
The relationship does not end at discovery; eolma supports the operational part of getting the split done.
How it works
A simple workflow designed for real local coordination
The product is designed to reduce friction from the moment someone spots a bulk item to the moment a split is completed.
1. add or discover an item
Users can browse the catalog, discover available items, or upload a product image for a new bulk purchase opportunity.
2. create a split request
A user specifies what they want to split so nearby people can express interest and join the request.
3. chat and organise
Participants use in-app messaging to confirm availability, share pickup timing, and exchange payment details when ready.
4. confirm the split
Split request state changes are visible to participants so there is a clear path from interest to acceptance to completion.
5. build trust over time
Ratings and profile context help users choose reliable people for future local splits.
6. repeat for everyday staples
The model works particularly well for pantry goods, household essentials, frozen items, and other repeat warehouse purchases.
Product
eolma is designed to make local bulk splitting practical
The product brings discovery, split request management, messaging, and price-drop notifications into one workflow built around real local shopping decisions.
Item details and split requests
The item details view gives users the product context, shows open split requests, and lets them create a new split request from the same screen.
Messaging, typing, and coordination stay in the product
Participants coordinate timing, pickup, payment, and status changes inside the message thread rather than leaving the product to finish the split.
Split request management
This view helps users manage their split requests over time, keep track of who is splitting which item, and review the status of current and past participation.
Price-drop notifications bring users back at the right time
Users can receive a notification when an item they care about drops in price, creating a timely reason to reopen the product and act on a better-value split.
Auto-matching for multi-item splits
Add the items you want to buy and get automatically matched with others with a similar cart.
Favourites
Track items you are interested in and return to them later when you are ready.
Trust and operations
Built to handle the messy parts of local commerce, not just discovery
A proper split marketplace needs more than listings. It needs messaging, safety signals, privacy controls, and a way to make repeated local interactions feel reliable.
Privacy-aware by design
eolma is built for authenticated usage rather than anonymous posting, with account-level context that supports more trustworthy local interactions.
Ratings after completed interactions
The product includes user ratings so trust can compound over time and the best participants become easier to identify.
Real-time communication
Messaging is part of the core workflow because local splits often depend on quick coordination, not delayed marketplace replies.
Location-aware usefulness
The local-first model matters: this only works if users can find nearby people and arrange realistic pickup logistics.
Why now
Cost pressure and convenience expectations make this behaviour more valuable now
Consumers are more price-sensitive, more comfortable coordinating through apps, and more interested in reducing waste. eolma sits at the intersection of all three.
Better value for small households
Bulk stores are compelling on price, but a lot of the addressable market cannot use those quantities alone. eolma turns that mismatch into a repeatable product opportunity.
More structured than informal group chats
People already coordinate these kinds of splits manually. eolma gives that behaviour a dedicated workflow, local discovery layer, and trust system.
Company context
Built in Auckland for everyday local shopping behaviour
eolma is focused on making a specific consumer behaviour easier: coordinating nearby people to share bulk purchases that are too large for one buyer. The product is intentionally narrow, practical, and built around repeated local use.
Target use case
Warehouse and bulk-store purchases that are too large, too expensive, or too wasteful for one household alone.
Current product surface
Catalog, split requests, chat, ratings, profile flows, and price drop notifications.
Near-term goal
Prove repeat local demand and make bulk splitting feel normal, safe, and operationally easy.
