Think Mint.com, except instead of "Groceries $85.34 12/23/2009" you would get "Brand X Cheese, 8 oz., $2.54 12/23/2009, Brand Y Milk, 1 gal, $3.45 12/23/2009, etc." Participating retailers would provide purchase data, and have access to the globally-aggregated data for an annual subscription fee. Data could also be brokered to advertisers, manufacturers, etc. Retailer A would then be able to correlate that Product X and Product Y are often purchased together at a competitor's store, whereas Retailer A now only stocks Product X and Product Z, which Retailer A thought would be correlated purchases, but in reality may not be, or at least may not be to the degree that X and Y are. Could tie this in to a logistics/delivery/stocking system. How about a consumer product-specific purchase aggregation exchange?
