We recently completed a multi-brand implementation covering over 100,000 SKUs using Retail Cloud Connect by Nimstrata, and the results have been outstanding.

The installation and implementation were seamless — everything worked exactly as described, and the support team was highly responsive and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Post-implementation support has continued to be excellent, with Nimstrata providing proactive assistance whenever needed.

Since going live, we’ve seen a huge improvement in our customer experience. Our conversion rates have increased, site usability has drastically improved, and our search and recommendation capabilities are far more accurate and relevant. The cloud implementation through Google Cloud Vertex AI Search for Commerce has been smooth and reliable, and the AI models now power intelligent, highly personalized product suggestions across our storefront.

It’s a massive improvement over Boost AI, delivering significantly better results at a comparable cost. This has been one of the best technology investments we’ve made — a genuine game-changer for product discovery and customer experience.

As an online store with thousands of product variants, helping the customer find the right gear for their need is our main goal. This means we have to build the best discovery and recommendation experience.

Nimstrata made it possible for small teams to tap into 'enterprise level' tools and optimization and power AI features that just works "out-of-the-box". Nimstrata helped us improve and uplift each and every step of the customer experience, from the moment they land until purchase.

As a small business with a large product range, implementing Nimstrata’s Retail Cloud Connect, powered by Google AI, has been a game changer for our business. The AI-powered features are incredibly intuitive and have taken our store's efficiency and customer experience to the next level. We've seen an increase in sales, and customers are more engaged than ever as their shopping experience is now more streamlined to their personal shopping patterns. We are already seeing a solid return on investment. Seb and his team provided us with the highest level of customer service and support and made the transition to Retail Cloud Connect completely seamless. Seb is always on hand to answer any questions we may have. As an early-stage client, we look forward to continuing working with Seb as his company evolves and grows.
