From creating and syndicating their content, to launching online stores and engaging and supporting shoppers, we are enabling the future of digital grocery.

Our Story

2018

Aisle Ahead is founded, through the merger of a Knoxville, TN, retail system integrator and a Seattle, WA, social media network for cooks, BigOven.

With a powerful base platform, used to syndicate recipes all the way to smart refrigerators with touch screens, our mission is to revolutionize the flow of food content, with technology platforms and services that enable solution-based grocery shopping.

2018-2019

Aisle Ahead, EU is formed, in Athens Greece, for better access to resources and future expansion to the European market.

Based on modern, Microservices /API-First, architecture, development of the technology platforms is underway.

2020-2022

Continuous technology platforms development and launch of first retailer on the headless commerce and interactions platform.

BigOven Kitchen production studios launches to fill the need for original food content, and house our creative services.

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.
