Site search savant, SLI Systems, has announced a partnership with e-commerce platform provider Magento, to bring the power of its full-service, learning-based site search to retail clients using the Magento platform.
As a Gold Partner in Magento’s Industry Partner Program, SLI Systems’ Learning Search Connect is being made available as a downloadable app, available through the Magento Connect App Store.
“Search is a key feature of any e-commerce website, and greatly influences the overall visitor experience,” said Ed Hoffman, Vice President of Global Business and Corporate Development for SLI Systems. “Through search technology that learns from customer behaviour, retailers can maximise site usability and conversions. Our new extension for Magento clients will allow them to capture significant ROI benefits while bolstering brand loyalty and adding more to the bottom line.”
SLI’s Learning Search Connect generates an e-commerce store’s data feed to SLI, so it can index the full catalogue of online product data and content, and create customised site search pages that are consistent with the retail site’s look and feel. With powerful features like Rich Auto Complete, Ajax, Dynamic Merchandising, and User-Generated SEO, SLI Systems significantly improves the user experience, helps visitors find what they’re looking for quickly and easily, and can generate a two-to three-times boost in conversions for retailers.
Several Magento platform customers have been using SLI’s standard full-service e-commerce site search solution, including BestBuySunglasses.com, Eastwood, and Luggage Professionals.
SLI Systems also announced that it is a gold sponsor of imagine eCommerce, Magento’s worldwide conference, taking place April 23-25, 2012, in Las Vegas.
