Since the deployment of the Autonomy Optimost’s MVT solution, ZipRealty has seen a 225% increase in the number of site visitors who “make an offer” online.

“Initially, a few people thought we were talking about a basic level of A/B testing, but once they saw the sheer volume of permutations we could test, and the tremendous uplift we could achieve, they got pretty excited. Now, it’s an essential part of our process for introducing a new product and creating the online customer experience around it. We wouldn’t do business any other way.“
