Product Advantages
Key advantages of our search platform
Navigation:
- Unlike the simple keyword-based search, FORCIA's search platform is capable of multi-faceted dynamic navigation, in which multiple attributes can be chosen and filtered simultaneously. Data is easily sliced and diced across multiple dimensions, and users can quickly zoom in and out to see fine details and the aggregate view.
- Moreover, the platform is designed to give intelligent responses to the user's navigation choices and provides encouragement to follow valid paths and minimize invalid or in-effective choices.
- Customers will feel very comfortable with this intuitive and dynamic navigation, which creates more and more discovery opportunities.
Fast response to the scale and complexity of the underlying data:
- In general, you might expect that increasing data volume would negatively impact performance. But FORCIA's unique technologies allow tens of millions of complex combinations to be processed quickly. In fact, the greater the data volume or complexity, the better the platform actually performs. This is a key advantage for growing businesses with increasing volumes of data.
Friendly, intuitive interface:
- Information is comprehensively and compactly presented on a single screen.
Self-learning:
- The platform can also predict which products the customers are most likely to buy with an AI self-learning algorithm. In addition to self-learning, the platform also incorporates know-how from our deep industry knowledge and 15 years of experience.
