Increase conversion and customer loyalty with high-quality data for product categorization, on-site search and more

How we help
With the massive growth of the eCommerce industry over the past decade, gaining customer loyalty is more critical than ever. The more clicks the user needs to make to find what they need on your site, the higher the likelihood that they will leave before making a purchase. To drive higher customer conversion and repeat business, you need to ensure that shoppers can find what they are looking for quickly.
Artificial intelligence also offers eCommerce retailers exciting new opportunities to engage with customers and manage costs with the introduction of chatbots. For a chatbot to understand and respond to humans, it needs to be trained with high quality, human annotated data.
