eCommerce Bytes – Personalized Shopping Just Got Bigger
Online merchants like the idea of being able to recommend products to shoppers based on their profiles and previous purchase history, and two vendors that provide such tools are getting together. RichRelevance acquired Swedish online merchandising platform Avail, which brings 82 new clients to its portfolio and extends its reach deeper into Europe and adds new geographic coverage in Australia and India.
RichRelevance powers personalized shopping experiences for retail brands including Walmart, Sears, Target, Marks & Spencer and John Lewis, and Avail’s retail clients include Argos, La Redoute and Halens.
