Due to COVID-19, shopping has shifted mainly online, and consumer preferences have changed. Indie boutiques and designers needed an online presence (now more than ever) and found it on Garmentory.com. In marketplaces with a large variety of items, there is a challenge to help consumers find the item they want, and their preferred designs. Also, the items data is not consistent and unified, for example, a “Jumpsuit” can be “Overall”, “Balloon sleeve” can be defined as “Puffed sleeve”, “Bardot” as “Open shoulder” etc., these are all used interchangeably, challenging shoppers to filter and search only in a unified way. Using computer vision and AI to automatically tag items creates a unified catalog even from several merchants using different terms.
