What led to the conceptualisation of Shoptimize?

Ecommerce has been consistently growing across the globe and is set to cross $200 billion in India as well. As consumers move to the internet to identify and buy products online, every brand would need a way to reach the online consumer. Brands initially focused on using marketplaces such as Amazon and Flipkart to drive online sales but were increasingly looking to build their own website as a medium for transactions and as a source of consumer behaviour analysis. To build a successful online business, brands need to leverage technology to the fullest. This is where we saw a gap and decided to build a SaaS business, which would enable, operate, and grow online sales for brands through their own websites.

The biggest value that Shoptimize brings to the table is the fact that it is an end-to-end digital sales channel and not just a technology or marketing services provider. In recent months, our artificial intelligence tools, which continuously improve conversions and reduce customer acquisition cost while providing an engaging experience for the users, have really set us apart.
