Investment enables Searchspring to pursue accelerated growth of its ecommerce site search, product merchandising, and personalization platform within the ecommerce space
Searchspring, a global leader in site search, product merchandising, and ecommerce personalization, has secured a strategic growth investment from PSG, a leading growth equity firm partnering with software and technology-enabled services companies to help accelerate their growth.
Since its start in 2007, Searchspring has focused on enabling ecommerce merchants to drive the ultimate shopper experience. Purpose built for ecommerce, merchants use the Searchspring platform to facilitate better product discovery through semantic site search capabilities and flexible product merchandising, which includes business rules as well as AI-driven campaigns. The Searchspring personalization suite further helps to get the right product to the right shopper at the right time.
Not only does Searchspring help drive improved shopper experience, but its insights, data, and reporting give merchants a detailed look at shopper behavior and search performance unlike that of many other ecommerce platforms.
