2023+
In “building” mode since inception, Aisle Ahead launches Content Driven Commerce+, or CDC+, technology platforms and services, separate or working as one, that drive commerce at the intersection of engagement and content.
BigOven was started in 2003, as a digital cookbook to allow the home cook to save their family recipes, to later become a recipe-focused social media network with millions of registered users, the first recipe app for iOS and over 13 million app downloads.
It evolved into the ultimate home cooking tool with a built-in meal planner, giving home chefs of all skill levels the ability to save and share recipes, create grocery lists, and reduce food waste through the Use Up Leftovers feature.
With a powerful platform distributing food content and recipes to smart, touch screen enabled, refrigerators and voice assistants, it is the base for our content management and syndication platform.
