Northwind Goods

An AI-native product catalogue, not just a shop.

When a shopper asks an AI assistant to "find me a weatherproof field notebook under €25", the assistant does not browse — it queries structured data. A future-proof store makes every product answerable: priced, attributed, in-stock, and machine-readable.
