Chief Technology Officer at Decathlon USA
Decathlon is very successful in European & Asian markets. For their
online store launch in USA, they needed a search partner that would
not only improve their conversion & revenue KPIs but also, enhance
user experience for the unique North American customer.
Since, Decathlon's catalog size is over 37000 SKUs, search is an
essential part of a customer's product discovery journey. Thus,
Decathlon partnered with Adeptmind to bring natural language search
to their online stores.
Adeptmind specializes in deep learning NLP solutions for eCommerce. Since Decathlon's users are sporting enthusiasts, we created a search solution that understands the user's product needs based on their sport of choice. Additionally, our proprietary ranking algorithm, ranks the most relevant products higher based on a user's personalized preferences. Our dynamic filters change based on user's query to enable guided narrowing of search results.
