Pandemic has forever changed how people shop and dramatically sped up the shift to online.  Most barriers are broken.

In total, 75% of US consumers have tried a new shopping behavior and over a third of them (36%) have tried a new product brand. Online or physical, consumers will always try to find the perfect product – perfect for their choice when they are shopping.  When you enter a physical store, with the help of the sales representatives you can learn the functionalities and access the product you need. However, this is not the case in e-commerce, which has become the center of our lives especially in a pandemic. At this point, an online product finder can be designed to help a customer, similar to a sales representative. E-commerce product finders can easily find the best product(s) for each individual customer’s needs among thousands of them. Basically, the product finder asks the customer a series of questions to recommend the best matching product.  Using product finders you can create “a great online customer journey” with no code and zero integration
