Leading visual search platform Slyce Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SLC) today announced the escalated deployment of its technology platform with preeminent luxury retailer Neiman Marcus.
The significantly expanded, 'Snap. Find. Shop.' feature, available in Neiman's top rated NM app and powered by Slyce, enables shoppers to snap 3D images of items now across any category - women's apparel, shoes, handbags, jewelry, home furnishings, children's, pets, and men's fashion - and receive direct or closely matching items from Neiman Marcus's product offering, which can be purchased easily at the point of inspiration.
The expanded service agreement with Neiman Marcus, which previously serviced visual search across two categories, shoes and handbags, comes as a result of growing demand for image based search by mobile consumers.
"Neiman Marcus is a highly progressive company and one with whom we enjoy a strong partnership," said Slyce CEO, Mark Elfenbein. "We're proud of the value it has seen from the initial roll out of visual search functionality. Customer adoption of the service has been significant and led to the decision to optimize the entire product offering."
"Online shopping begins with search - either through key words or navigating filters. With the expansion of Snap. Find. Shop. to all categories of merchandise, we are able to exceed our customers' expectations and allow them to easily shop with us at any time and from any place," says Wanda Gierhart, CMO, Neiman Marcus Group, "Visual search removes hurdles, taking the customer directly from inspiration to gratification."
