About Naboria AI

The premier Retail Marketing Activation Platform (RMAP) for Puerto Rico — connecting the warehouse, the shelf, and the smartphone.

Founded in Puerto Rico, Naboria AI bridges the gap between physical shelf reality and digital marketing demand. We integrate daily verified shelf audits with automated multi-channel activations — so every marketing dollar drives a physical sale at a stocked shelf. No blind advertising. No wasted impressions.

Our Market

Proudly built in Puerto Rico for Puerto Rico's $10B+ retail sector.

Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is a US territory in the northeastern Caribbean with a population of approximately 3.2 million. It is a bilingual (Spanish and English) island with a US legal framework, US currency, and growing tech and startup ecosystems — making it a unique launchpad for reaching both US and Latin American audiences.

The Caribbean

Beyond Puerto Rico, the Caribbean represents 700+ islands and over 45 million consumers across dozens of markets. Puerto Rico's unique position — US-regulated, bilingual, and well-connected — makes it the ideal gateway to scale inventory-aware activation throughout the region.

Why It Matters

In fragmented island markets, the gap between warehouse inventory and shelf reality is even wider than on the mainland. Naboria's daily-audit-to-activation model is purpose-built for these conditions — where every distribution mile counts and every wasted impression has an outsized cost.

What Makes Us Different

Why Naboria is not just another retail media platform.

Inventory-First, Not Impression-First

Traditional retail media optimizes for clicks and impressions. Naboria optimizes for shelf movement. We start with what is physically available, then generate demand — never the other way around.

Daily Physical Audits, Not POS Estimates

Our data comes from IntelliShelf's verified daily shelf audits — not delayed POS feeds or estimated inventory models. You're making decisions on ground truth, not guesswork.

Zero Wasted Impressions

Campaigns auto-pause at the zip code level when product goes out of stock. Every impression leads to a product the shopper can actually buy. No more driving customers to empty shelves.

Closed-Loop Attribution

From shelf audit to digital activation to shelf depletion — Naboria proves the ROI of every dollar spent. See which campaigns moved product, at which stores, by how much.
