ShopMate
Automate product recommendations, optimize search results, engage customers in real-time for upselling and cross-selling.
What is ShopMate?
ShopMate is an AI tool designed to help online retailers increase sales through automated product recommendations and optimised search functionality. It works by analysing customer behaviour in real-time, then suggesting relevant products to individual shoppers as they browse. The tool also improves how your search results are ranked, making it easier for customers to find what they want. ShopMate targets e-commerce businesses of all sizes, particularly those looking to boost average order value through upselling and cross-selling without manually managing recommendations. The freemium model lets smaller shops test the basics at no cost before committing to a paid plan.
