Merger Will Accelerate U.S. Market Growth for Leading AI Digital Sales Assistant Platform
SmartAssistant, the leading artificial intelligence (AI) digital sales assistant platform, announced that it has merged with Zoovu, a SaaS solution provider suited to help brands deliver more engaging, intuitive and informative shopping experiences. In addition to providing liquidity for selling shareholders, Zoovu is investing capital to support organic growth and strategic acquisitions within the U.S. market.
Building on five years of customer success, Zoovu has been a pioneer in the AI digital sales assistant space, helping organizations of all sizes – including Amazon, Canon and Coty – to better understand their customers’ wants and needs via a unique conversational experience. Zoovu’s technology leverages behavioral and product analytics to “learn” consumer interaction patterns with the goal of solving the “I-want moment” – the point in time when customers make their purchase decision. Ultimately, this allows consumers to find their optimal products, while providing improved average order value (AOV) and reduced returns for brands.
