TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GroupBy Inc., a SaaS-based B2C and B2B eCommerce search product discovery technology leader, has been shortlisted in The 2024 A.I. Awards program in the Best Use of AI-driven Personalization category. The company's AI-first composable platform is bridging the gap between consumer and merchant by delivering next-generation search technology to retailers globally.

“At GroupBy, our mission is to revolutionize product discovery through state-of-the-art AI and ML”

Powered by Google Cloud Vertex AI Search for Retail, the platform consists of Search, Recommendations, Data Enrichment, Fitment AI (Year, Make, Model Search), Merchandising, and Analytics and Reporting providing eCommerce merchants with access to a powerhouse of products and services designed to enhance the digital customer experience.

“At GroupBy, our mission is to revolutionize product discovery through state-of-the-art AI and ML,” said Roland Gossage, GroupBy CEO. “This recognition validates our team's commitment to delivering exceptional, personalized experiences for our clients' customers. We are excited to continue pushing the boundaries of innovation and redefining the future of ecommerce search.”

Unlike other AI search applications, which sit on top of legacy technology, GroupBy’s is built with an AI-first approach using Google’s search engine. AI and machine learning models are trained on Google’s wealth of global data to understand context and user intent, enabling GroupBy to deliver the most relevant, buyable, and personalized search results that are optimized for revenue. GroupBy’s platform empowers retailers to significantly enhance the customer experience easily and at scale by delivering highly relevant, personalized, and buyable search results for any query type—long-tail, keyword, ambiguous, conversational, part number, and more. This seamless search experience reduces friction in the shopper journey while increasing customer satisfaction, loyalty, and overall sales for merchants.

The A.I. Awards, a new awards program launched earlier this year by The Cloud Awards, recognizes and rewards excellence and innovation in the use or development of cloud artificial intelligence technologies, and machine learning.

Our judges have an enviable task in determining which of these outstanding organizations deserve to be taken forward to the next stage of this year’s program. Good luck to all our shortlistees!”

The program now enters its second round of judging, reducing the shortlist to a handful of finalists in each category. A.I.
