Top Swedish agency Made People installs full Merchandising Cloud suite for SWIMS

The Challenge

When he graduated, Johan decided he wanted to create a modern galosh – a reimagining of the functional shoe covers he had been wearing for the last few years. And so, in 2006 with galoshes in four different colors, SWIMS was born.

Fast-forward to the present day and SWIMS is a force to be reckoned with, offering a wide range of modern, functional, and great-looking products, living in the cross section of style and activity. It offers footwear, apparel, accessories, and more.

Now aiding them in their ongoing ecommerce journey is top site search and personalization software provider, Merchandising Cloud.

The Solution

The full Merchandising Cloud-powered suite, as integrated by leading Nordic agency Made People, is now live on SWIMS’ website, helping their customers find their preferred products quicker and easier, as well as inspiring new product discoveries.

“Merchandising Cloud has a very versatile and powerful set of capabilities which is why we’ve streamlined them into our way of working,” explained Made People co-founder and CTO Jonathan Selander.

“We have worked closely with the Merchandising Cloud team to achieve great product experiences for clients and have been very happy with the results. Their tech is powerful and flexible, and their customer support is extremely reliable.”

Merchandising Cloud’s intelligent Personalized Search solution enables online shoppers in finding their preferred items quicker and easier. Search queries will have autocomplete options while advanced spelling tolerance will ignore spelling mistakes and provide instant results while typing.

This swift and dependable solution ensures retailers are always displaying the most relevant products, by re-ordering them using an advanced AI-powered personalization algorithm. It also serves to nudge search behaviour through “inspirational search” – displaying trending searches and trending products, while both “smart filtering” and “sorting” functionalities enable shoppers to find their desired items faster.
