By deploying Searchandiser by GroupBy, the parts and accessories retailer BikeBandit saw an increased conversion rate of 11% over their legacy Endeca Oracle solution.

"With competition like Amazon we have to ensure that our site search and navigation is truly world class.  Delivering relevant search results for our customers is critical role in customer satisfaction and our business as a whole." says Ken Wahlster, CEO. 

BikeBandit ran an extensive A/B test to 98% statistically significance and declared GroupBy's Searchandiser the clear winner.

"Searchandiser gave us the desired results for both our long and short tail searches in addition to part and tire size searches.  Searchandiser was easy to use and gives our Marketing team the control they need to run our business day to day." says Ken.

BikeBandit wanted to simplify its architecture by standardizing on a cloud-based search platform.  It was also critical to find a platform that was extensible and could support future business requirements.

"Our success is attributable to excellent technology and true partnership.  We felt GroupBy was able to deliver on both fronts." says Ken Wahlster.

Since BikeBandit began using Searchandiser, conversions from site search have increased by 11%, while revenue derived from search has gone up 14%.  In addition, transactions have increased by 10.4% with a 4.2% improvement in Average Order Value.

Given the success of Searchandizer, BikeBandit plans to test into GroupBy's platform improvements, which include product recommendations and personalized relevancy.
