Image recognition to make images shoppable

Image Recognition Gives Shoppable Images to Enrich Your Customer Experience

In eCommerce, pictures are worth more than a thousand words. With Image Recognition, an image can help you sell more, create better and more intuitive online experiences, and deepen your customer relationship. Images become shoppable. If your customers see something they like, all they have to do is take a photo and that image will instantly open up the world of eCommerce to them. No searching. No waiting.

What is Image Recognition?

Image Recognition applies artificial intelligence to automatically identify and categorise objects, places, people, text, and actions in images. The goal is to make eCommerce more visually and consumer-centric as possible. The AI tags and adds content to the image allowing it to become shoppable – used to find and retrieve similar and related items from your online store.

With shoppable images, customers that know what they are looking for no longer have to use text-based search or scroll through multiple pages to get t the product they’re after. Customers looking for inspiration can simply use the image to return similar items. Shopping becomes much more immediate, intuitive and rewarding.
