Klevu raises $12M for AI that personalizes ecommerce search

~ Brandon McGee ~ Leave a comment
  • “While year-over-year consumer spending in the U.S. dipped last month, the pandemic has supercharged ecommerce. According to data from IBM’s U.S. Retail Index, business closures and shelter-in-place orders accelerated the shift to digital shopping by five years, with online shopping projected to grow nearly 20% in 2020.
  • Based on the survey data from BMC and Mercatus, ecommerce grocery orders alone totaled $5.9 billion, up 3.6% from $5.7 billion in August.
  • As of Q1 2019, just 2.72% of ecommerce website visits converted into purchases, according to Statista.
  • Klevu customer Puma says it saw an over 50% increase in search-led conversions on one of its websites after adopting the platform.”

How Artificial Intelligence is changing the way we search and find online

~ Brandon McGee ~ Leave a comment
  • “The customer searching online tries to make their query as accurate and intelligent as possible while the search engine simply responds by sharing everything it knows, but without actually answering the question. AI by contrast can spot what the customer intends and gives answers based on that intent, depending where an individual shopper is in their own personal buying journey.
  • By ensuring that their search strategy is underpinned by AI, retailers can then introduce more dynamic search enablers, such as visual and voice. But rather than simply adding commands, the customer is able to hold conversations with the digital assistant using natural language. Search then turns into discovery and it is this that leads to higher customer conversions, repeat visits and long-term loyalty.”
