Use case · Elderly parents
Shopping for your parents, organised even from afar.
Grocery shopping for elderly parents works best with one shared list that the whole family can see. In Paniere you create a list for your parents' home and invite your siblings and the person who helps at home: anyone can add a product from wherever they are, and whoever goes to the shop finds it ready. The history shows what was bought and when, so you know the fridge is not empty even when you live far away.
Free on the App Store, for iPhone
Why is shopping for elderly parents hard to coordinate?
The list arrives by phone
Your mother dictates the list on the phone, you write it on a scrap of paper, and the scrap stays in the car of whoever wrote it.
Siblings who do not talk to each other
One of you buys the water, another buys it again two days later, and nobody bought the medicine for the pharmacy run.
The wrong product
Your father wants that specific milk, that brand of biscuits, the small pack. Whoever goes to the shop does not know, and brings back the wrong one.
How does Paniere help the family look after shopping for parents?
One list for their home
A separate list just for your parents' home, with the siblings and the carer as members. It does not mix with your own shopping.
Notes and quantities
Every product can have a quantity, a unit and a note: "the lactose free one", "the small pack", "the usual brand". Nothing left to guesswork.
What is urgent goes first
If something cannot wait, mark it as urgent: it moves to the top of the list with an icon, on everyone's phone.
What was bought, and when
The history shows every product bought, the day and who bought it. From another city you know the shopping was done.

Frequently asked questions
Do my parents need to use the app?
+
No. The list works even if only the children and the carer use it: you add what your parents ask for and whoever goes to the shop reads it. If your parents have an iPhone, they can join with the same link.
Can the person who helps at home use it?
+
Yes. Invite them to the parents' list only: they will see that list and its history, not your other lists.
Does Paniere order the shopping for delivery?
+
No. Paniere is the shared list: it tells whoever goes to the shop, or whoever places an online order, exactly what is needed.
How much does it cost?
+
Nothing. Paniere is free on the App Store for iPhone, without in-app purchases.
