Szumark (pronounced Sue-mark) is a free mobile application targeted at the Australian market that aggregates and tracks price discounts across major supermarket and pharmacy chains.[1][2] Originally created as a weekly catalogue tracker, the app monitors price histories and discount cycles across stores including Coles, Woolworths, ALDI, Chemist Warehouse, and Priceline.[3][4]
History
[edit]The application was originally developed by Andrew Chau as a personal tool to track supermarket specials and price fluctuations. Following its utility in managing household shopping expenses, Chau launched the application publicly for Australian consumers looking to reduce grocery costs. As consumer focus on household expenditure grew due to broader economic inflation, the application was expanded beyond basic catalogue aggregation to record historical item pricing.[3][5]
Features
[edit]Szumark is distributed free of charge without a paid subscription tier or premium paywalls.[6][2] Its key features include:
- Retailer Integration: Aggregates current specials and regular pricing across Australian supermarkets and health retailers.[1]
- Price History Tracking: Displays interactive historical pricing charts to illustrate changes in an item's discount status over selectable timeframes.[3]
- Discount Frequency Indexing: Incorporates a rating system detailing how frequently a specific product goes on promotion to assist users in gauging sale patterns.[1]
- Local Caching: Downloads and stores pricing data locally on the host device to maintain accessibility in locations with reduced mobile network coverage.[6]
Media coverage
[edit]The application has received coverage across mainstream Australian media regarding consumer grocery savings. It was featured in a television news broadcast segment on Nine News, highlighting its price tracking capabilities.[3] Additionally, the app was featured on Good Food via The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Brisbane Times, and WAtoday, as a recommended digital tool for managing household grocery bills.[2][5][7][8]
