Turn Browsers Into Buyers

Product Relevance Optimizer accelerator — semantic search, vector embeddings, and merchandising control for e-commerce catalogs.

Semantic Product Search

Understands user intent beyond keywords. “Red dress” matches “crimson gown”, “burgundy frock”, “scarlet evening wear”. Reduces zero-results pages by 30% using NLP and language models trained on your catalog.

AI-Powered Personalization

Vector embeddings for user behavior, purchase history, browsing patterns. Users who searched for “camping gear” see personalized results for “outdoor equipment”, “trail sneakers”, “hiking backpacks” based on their intent profile. 15% average conversion lift.

Merchandising Control

A/B test search algorithms. Boost/bury products by business rules (margin, inventory, seasonality). Set featured products for campaigns. Track what's ranking, what's converting, what's ignored. Transparent analytics for every search query.

Production-Ready, Not Prototype

Deployed and customized by SquareShift engineers (not self-serve SaaS). Includes proven patterns from 10+ e-commerce search engagements. Reduces deployment from 6 months (custom build) to accelerator deployment. Pre-engineered. Expert-deployed. Custom-fitted.

Fashion Retailer — 15% Conversion Lift

Challenge

Product search conversion stalled at 8%. Users frequently hit zero-results pages. Manual relevance tuning couldn't keep up with 50K+ product catalog changes.

Results

  • 15% conversion lift (8% → 9.2%)
  • 30% reduction in zero-results pages
  • $500K incremental revenue in first quarter

Surface Answers, Not Just Documents

Ticket Knowledge Base + AI Assisted Triage accelerators — semantic search, RAG, and LLM-powered answer extraction for enterprise knowledge.

Semantic Document Search

Understands meaning beyond keywords. “Contract termination” matches “agreement cancellation clause”, “end of service terms”, “termination provisions”. 40% faster legal discovery using NLP trained on your document corpus. 90% semantic match accuracy vs. 60% keyword-only.

AI-Powered Triage

LLM-powered answer extraction from knowledge base. Automatic ticket routing. Suggested resolutions from existing docs. Deflects 60% of support tickets via AI-suggested answers. Agents focus on complex issues, not repetitive FAQs.

RAG Integration

Retrieval-Augmented Generation for context-aware answers, not just document links. Employees get direct answers from HR policies instead of reading 50-page PDFs. 80% employee self-service rate. Reduces support load by surfacing exact policy clauses, not full documents.

Production-Ready, Not Prototype

Deployed and customized by SquareShift engineers (not self-serve SaaS). Includes proven patterns from 15+ enterprise search engagements. Reduces deployment from 6 months (custom build) to accelerator deployment. Pre-engineered. Expert-deployed. Custom-fitted.

Tech Support — 60% Ticket Deflection

Challenge

Support tickets spiked 200% after product launch. Knowledge base existed but customers couldn't find answers. Agents manually searched docs for every ticket.

Solution

SquareShift implemented Ticket Knowledge Base accelerator + AI Assisted Triage for semantic search and auto-suggested answers.

Results

  • 60% ticket deflection via self-service search
  • $200K support cost reduction (fewer agents needed)
  • 40% faster resolution for tickets that escalate

Legal Firm — 40% Faster Discovery

Challenge

Legal discovery for litigation required manually searching 100K+ documents. Keyword search missed semantic matches. Discovery took 8 weeks per case.

Solution

SquareShift implemented semantic document search + vector embeddings for contract/litigation discovery.

Results

  • 40% faster discovery (8 weeks → 4.8 weeks)
  • 90% semantic match accuracy (vs. 60% keyword-only)
  • $150K cost savings per litigation case
