    The manual burden of product categorization and targeting
    Businesses today still struggle to deliver the right product content at the right time, creating a frustrating shopping experience for customers that are forced to search through irrelevant products to find what they need, while creating missed opportunities for the business. At the same time, consumer preferences and product information change rapidly, making it difficult for retailers to execute effective and timely merchandising strategies. As volumes of products and global customers continue to grow, manual tagging of products and static content quickly becomes inefficient for businesses. As a result, marketers increasingly invest in search keywords, banners ads and other online marketing investments, but get low conversion rates and sales in return.

    Transform the shopping experience
    The Autonomy Interwoven Merchandising and Recommendation offering, powered by IDOL, brings meaning and understanding to each piece of content in product catalogs and leverages Autonomy Interwoven’s web content management solution to deliver the most compelling product or offer to each site visitor. With the power of IDOL, retailers can optimize the shopping experience across multiple channels as well as upsell and cross-sell products to increase conversion rates, the number of products per order and the average order value.
