Search is the Tip of the Spear for Your B2B eCommerce StrategyLucidworks
With ecommerce experiencing explosive growth, it seems intuitive that the B2B segment of that ecosystem is mirroring the same trajectory. That said, B2B has very different needs when it comes to transacting with the same style of experiences that we see in B2C. For instance, B2B ecommerce is about precision findability, whereas B2C customers can convert at higher rates when they’re just browsing online. In order for the B2B buying experience to be successful, search needs to be tuned to meet the unique needs of the segment.
In this webinar with Forrester senior analyst Joe Cicman, you’ll learn:
-Which verticals in B2B will drive the most growth, and how machine-learning powered personalization tactics can be deployed to support those specific verticals
-Why an omnichannel selling approach must be deployed in order to see success in B2B
-How deploying content search capabilities will support a longer sales cycle at scale
-What the next steps are to support a robust B2B commerce strategy supported by new technology

Customer loyalty starts with quickly responding to your customer’s needs. When it comes to resolving open support cases, time is of the essence. Time spent searching for answers adds up and creates inefficiencies in resolving cases at scale. Relevant answers need to be a few clicks away and easily accessible for agents directly from their service console.
We will explore how Lucidworks’ Agent Insights application automatically connects agents with the correct answers and resources. You’ll learn how to:
-Configure a proactive widget in an agent’s case view page to access resources across third-party systems (such as Sharepoint, Confluence, JIRA, Zendesk, and ServiceNow).
-Easily set up query pipelines to autonomously route assets and resources that are relevant to the case-at-hand—directly to the right agent.
-Identify subject matter experts within your support data and access tribal knowledge with lightning-fast speed.
How Crate & Barrel Connects Shoppers with Relevant ProductsLucidworks
Lunch and Learn during Retail TouchPoints #RIC21 virtual event.

Crate & Barrel’s previous search solution couldn’t provide its shoppers with an online search and browse experience consistent with the customer-centric Crate & Barrel brand. Meanwhile, Crate & Barrel merchandisers spent the bulk of their time manually creating and maintaining search rules. The search experience impacted customer retention, loyalty, and revenue growth.
Join this lunch & learn for an interactive chat on how Crate & Barrel partnered with Lucidworks to:
-Improve search and browse by modernizing the technology stack with ML-based personalization and merchandising solutions
-Enhance the experience for both shoppers and merchandisers

Learn how to guide customers to relevant products using eCommerce search, hyper-personalisation, and recommendations in our ‘Best-In-Class Retail Product Discovery’ webinar.
Nowadays, shoppers want their online experience to be engaging, inspirational and fulfilling. They want to find what they’re looking for quickly and easily.

In this webinar, we explore IMRG industry data insights and a best-in-class example of retail product discovery. You’ll learn:
- How AI can drive increased revenue through hyper-personalised experiences
- How user intent can be easily understood and results displayed immediately

Connected Experiences Are Personalized ExperiencesLucidworks
Many companies claim personalization and omnichannel capabilities are top priorities. Few are able to deliver on those experiences.
For a recent Lucidworks-commissioned study, Forrester Consulting surveyed 350+ global business decision-makers to see what gets in the way of achieving these goals. They discovered that inefficient technology, lack of behavioral insights, and failure to tie initiatives to enterprise-wide goals are some of the most frequent blockers to personalization success.
Join guest speaker, Forrester VP and Principal Analyst, Brendan Witcher, and Lucidworks CEO, Will Hayes, to hear the results of the Forrester Consulting study, how to avoid “digital blindness,” and how to apply VoC data in real-time to delight customers with personalized experiences connected across every touchpoint.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- Why companies who utilize real-time customer signals report more effective personalization
- How to connect employees and customers in a shared experience through search and browse
- How Lucidworks clients Lenovo, Morgan Stanley and Red Hat fast-tracked improvements in conversion, engagement and customer satisfaction

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Good morning!
It really doesn’t matter what industry or discipline we are in – we all want to know how we stack up.
All those KPIs that we measure are terrific – but what’s realistic vs aspirational? And more importantly, what are others doing?
Some of our biggest customers were asking that very question – so we wanted to create a baseline survey --
We worked with oiur partner at Retail Touchpoints to craft 15 questions – and this year chose to go constrain it to companies doing $100m in revenue of greater. We had more than 120 participants take our survey, and I am pleased to be able to give you a sneak peek at the results.
We have a paper tha tis being written and published and will be available some in a coiuple weeks. If any of you are interested in this free copy, please
Almost 70% of our respondents reported revenues of $400 million or more, nearly 20% between 200-399million and 18% over $100. We hope in the future to widen this to companies of all sizes and beyone just B2c companies.
Site down times, stockouts, undiscoverable content, slowdowns in checkout

30% of website visitors start their website visit by using the search box
80% of those visitors (24% of all website visitors) abandon websites due to poor search experience
When a website search is used, conversion rates average 4.63% instead of 2.77%
Site down times, stockouts, undiscoverable content, slowdowns in checkout
The majority of shoppers (60%) visit a site up to four times before making a purchase. That leaves 40% making five visits or more before they finally buy. Using the power of AI to provide more targeted search results and recommendations can help move customers along the shopping journey effectively. How many times has the visitor viewed a particular product? How expensive is the item? Are they a long-time customer? Does their search history show multiple searches for similar items or did they go straight for this one?
The answers will point to their search intent and better inform additional recommendations, information on services and support options, and links to complementary items. Without this granular insight, retailers might move the customer into the “buy” workflow too quickly and opportunities for upsells and cross-sells may be lost. Ultimately the success rate comes back to A/B testing and what works best for the brand’s site and customer demographics.

Site down times, stockouts, undiscoverable content, slowdowns in checkout
Whenever you do a survey – you find that you could have asked the question better
Merchandisers are always trying to figure out what shoppers are looking for before getting to their site. But tastes change and even the most savvy merchandisers have trouble keeping pace with the millions of digital signals that shoppers send every day. That’s why merchandisers need machine learning and real-time insights to ensure that they deliver the right product to the right shopper, at the right moment.
