Rebag embarked on a mission to recreate the personalized service synonymous with a traditional luxury boutique within the digital realm. However, their previous search solution posed a significant obstacle. Unlike traditional retailers with standardized inventory, the inherent uniqueness of their inventory – each pre-owned item boasts a distinct SKU – presented a formidable challenge for the existing platform. This resulted in inconsistent and often irrelevant search results, frustrating customers in their quest to discover the perfect piece. Furthermore, managing their extensive inventory along with gaining a deeper understanding of buyer intent remained ongoing hurdles for Rebag.
To elevate their online customer experience, Rebag implemented GroupBy's cutting-edge eCommerce Search and Product Discovery platform. This industry-leading solution is powered by Google Cloud Vertex AI Search for Retail, leveraging the immense capabilities of Google's ML/AI technology. GroupBy's AI-first platform transformed Rebag's search experience in several key ways:
- Improving Search Relevance and Accuracy: Leveraging the power of AI, GroupBy ensures that even for unique or niche luxury items, customers are presented with highly relevant search results, significantly enhancing their search, browse and navigation experience.
- Enhanced Product Findability: Customers can now navigate Rebag's vast selection with ease, effortlessly locating their desired pieces thanks to GroupBy's superior search capabilities.

- Deeper Buyer Insights: GroupBy's comprehensive analytics provide Rebag with invaluable insights into buyer intent and search behavior. This empowers Rebag to further refine their product offerings and tailor marketing strategies to resonate with their target audience.
Since implementing GroupBy AI-first Search and Product Discovery Platform, Rebag has seen significant improvements in their online shopping experience, translating into significant business growth:
- Exponential Search Revenue Growth: Rebag's search revenue has skyrocketed by over 50% and revenue per search improved by 60%. A clear indicator of the platform's effectiveness in driving sales and conversions through optimized search experiences.

Our eCommerce channels are incredibly important to the success of our company, but it's hard to sell products if people can't find them with ease.
