Shop-aholics Enabled by EasyAsk eCommerce Software; 72 Million Transactions Represent Billions in Sales as v12 Introduced
"Search Engine Optimization, Natural Language Technology, Enable Holiday Wish Fulfillment for those on 2010 Nice List," Says Santa
BURLINGTON, Mass., Feb. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- EasyAsk, an industry leader in e-commerce search and merchandising software that has helped fuel 72 million transactions over the past year, today announced EasyAsk eCommerce Edition Version 12 which provides significant new capabilities for e-commerce search and merchandising.
Among the new features in EasyAsk eCommerce Edition Version 12 are: increased Search Engine Optimization (SEO), search auto-complete, NetSuite eCommerce integration, product review attributes and integration with recommendation engines. All new features are available in a single package for EasyAsk eCommerce Edition Version 12 eliminating the need for customers to purchase expensive "add-on" modules.
The simplistic packaging and pricing, combined with the unique EasyAsk natural language technology, enable the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) and best value for enterprise-class search and merchandising.
"EasyAsk has revolutionized online holiday shopping and has had a direct effect on labor practices with my elves," said Santa Claus while vacationing on a Mazatlan beach this month. "The natural language technology has led to a significant decrease in reported disappointments from those on my Nice List." In other words, SEO and TCO are helping Santa go ho-ho-ho.
EasyAsk's unique natural language technology fuels the company's industry leading e-commerce search and merchandising platform and tools. EasyAsk natural language drives better search to convert buyers faster, more flexible navigation to convert shoppers into buyers, and more compelling offers and promotions to increase order sizes. The result is higher conversion rates and increased e-commerce revenues.
"The EasyAsk software and natural language technology delivers a superior search, navigation and merchandising platform that allows us to convert more visitors into buyers," said Andrew Deren, Executive Vice President of Technology, Personalization Mall. "The EasyAsk implementation was fast and smooth, meeting our deadline of being live before the holidays. We are looking forward to EasyAsk Version 12 to take advantage of the new features."
New Features in EasyAsk eCommerce Edition Version 12
EasyAsk eCommerce Edition Version 12 contains a number of new features and enhancements, including:
-- Search Engine Optimization - the new search site map generator provides
integration with internet search engines to optimize the exposure and
ranking of products in consumer searches.
-- Search Auto-Complete - as site visitors' type in the search box, EasyAsk
will provide a list of suggested searches which the visitor can select
from without having to finish typing the entire search string. Advanced
algorithms based on the user and site search history, as well as
analytics maintained by EasyAsk drive the suggestions.

include product review data from vendors such as BazaarVoice. This
allows visitors to search using product review criteria - i.e. "black
loafers under $70 with 4 star reviews" - see review information as
attributes in the navigation, and use review information inside search
business rules to raise products in results or drive related offers or
promotions.
-- Integration with product recommendation engines - EasyAsk search results
can now include associated product recommendations driven by product
recommendation engines such as Rich Relevance and Certona.
"The EasyAsk platform has tens of millions of dollars in R&D investment to-date and we have a strong commitment to our customers and the market in continuing our industry leadership position," said Craig Bassin, CEO of EasyAsk.
