Solving the biggest challenges in the fashion industry

• Understanding Style Intent: Shoppers aren’t just looking anymore – they’re expressing themselves. Instead of typing “red dress,” they say, “I need a statement piece for the wedding afterparty.” This shift toward intent-driven discovery challenges marketers to create deeply personalized, intuitive experiences that feel as seamless as they are stylish.
• Product Accuracy: Every detail matters. Inaccurate or missing product data means missed connections. With the right tools, that “little black dress” or “LBD” will never hide under “cocktail wear”, so each product will effortlessly find its audience.
• Always in fashion: Fashion moves fast and so must the fashion marketer’s technology. With powerful indexing, every update—from new collection drops to seasonal restocks—must be reflected in real-time so customers always see the latest styles.
• Filter without frustration: An overloaded customer rarely makes a purchase (According to Accenture, information overload affects people’s trust, as 74% of consumers abandon a purchase). Intuitive filters for size, color, material and price help shoppers easily find exactly what they need – turning browsing into buying.
• Flawless search, every time: Whether it’s ‘coat’ or ‘rain jacket’, our algorithms understand the nuances of natural language, so every search feels like magic.
