Matter and Searchspring

“Our mission is to create new and better ways to deliver customer experience. Searchspring plays a critical role in our ecommerce systems, allowing us to shortcut the user to the products they want. We build fast-loading, content-rich ecommerce experiences. Searchspring has the tech to deliver on performance, as well as to enable advanced search, merchandising, and recommendation features.”
– Nigel Poole, CEO, Matter.

One mutual customer that Matter and Searchspring have worked with, alongside BigCommerce, is THE UPSIDE

Products are beautifully presented on THE UPSIDE’s new website with high-quality product and campaign photography, and video media in product galleries to give the customer an appreciation for the products’ colour, texture, stretch, and drape. Searchspring delivers immersive content to the frontend giving the user an effortless customer experience and short path to purchase.

The result is a high-converting website, and a platform for building the brand across multiple markets globally.

“Commercially, outcomes following deployment have exceeded our expectation. We like the site, but most importantly our customers are telling us both via feedback and through outcomes, that they do too,” says Paul Burdekin, CEO of THE UPSIDE.
