“Since launching Convert over a year ago, we have been working to refine the platform based on our product roadmap and feedback we’ve received from our customers,” said Harry Thakkar, Partner at Avatria. “These new feature updates are a natural evolution of the original conversion product, designed to offer users more customization and tools to aid their conversion optimization and merchandising needs.”

Avatria Convert works by utilizing a company’s existing analytics data and machine learning to identify the products that are most likely to be purchased, then updates the site to assure that customers see the most relevant results at the top of the page.  Convert generates its rankings via a proprietary algorithm that looks at over 80 different product, sales, and customer behavior metrics.

“Convert and the Avatria team have offered incredible value to our site,” said Brad Rosen, Managing Partner of Sports World Chicago. “Not only did they help us start collecting critical new data, but Convert made an immediate impact on our sales.”
