How Petco drove a 13% lift in ecommerce conversions with Constructor

'The thing we liked about Constructor was that not only was it real AI, specifically made for our industry, but that their AI is incredibly transparent. None of it is black box – so we don't have to guess what it's doing or why – and when we have questions, the Constructor team is always happy to talk us through it. We evaluated every vendor on the market, and Constructor was just different. The system is easy to use, the team is motivated and delightful to work with, and most importantly, it paid for itself plus the cost of switching in less than a year after we implemented it.'

FAQs

  • Their core search runs on legacy technology with AI layered on top. This creates complexity, technical debt, and a heavy reliance on manual tuning — from synonym management to merchandising rules — just to maintain relevance. 

    Constructor was built from the ground up with native AI, LLMs, and ML — no legacy baggage. Every click, browse, and add-to-cart instantly updates the experience for that specific shopper. Our automation handles repetitive tasks while keeping merchandisers in full control, freeing them to focus on strategy.

    We also bring a perfect track record — having never lost an A/B test to a competitor — and we back our promises with a Proof Schedule® that delivers projected ROI in just weeks. And our white-glove support is led by dedicated ecommerce experts who focus on your KPIs, not upselling additional products. Book a demo to see our solution in action.

  • Yes, we offer a free Proof Schedule®. We know investing in AI is a significant decision, and we understand the need for assurance before commitment. This is a structured, no-risk engagement where we integrate a lightweight tracking pixel to evaluate your current search and product discovery performance. Over 2–4 weeks, we gather real-world data from your site, uncover missed opportunities, and identify measurable lifts you can expect when Constructor goes live.

    By the end, you’ll have a business case built on your own data, including projections for revenue per visitor, conversion rate, and profit margin improvements. It’s proof you can take to your leadership team — and something Bloomreach doesn’t offer today. Learn more about our Proof Schedule.

  • Constructor partners with the world’s top retail consultants, systems integrators, and technology platforms like Shopify, AWS, and Braze. We provide a variety of integration approaches to make the integration process as fast and simple as possible. Learn more about our partner ecosystem.

  • Constructor supports fast integrations with platforms like Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Shopify Plus, commercetools, and custom stacks. Our onboarding process is streamlined, transparent, and merchant-friendly, so your team stays focused on strategy rather than technical firefighting. We’ve helped leading ecommerce brands and retailers get set up in 8 weeks or less—and prove ROI in just 4 weeks.

  • Our recommendations engine continuously learns from every shopper action — clicks, product views, add-to-carts, purchases — and adapts the experience instantly for that individual. The result is true 1:1 personalization across search, browse, recommendations, and other touchpoints, fully aligned with your business KPIs.

    You can also guide the algorithm toward strategic goals — for example, boosting new arrivals, highlighting margin-rich products, or promoting seasonal items — without losing the AI’s ability to tailor the experience for each shopper.

  • Constructor’s PIA ensures high-intent shoppers don’t bounce at the finish line — delivering instant, trustworthy answers to their final product questions directly on your Product Detail Pages (PDPs). PIA analyzes your existing data — reviews, product specs, manuals, support content — and incorporates external sources to generate clear, context-aware answers in real time. Learn more about agentic guided selling and Product Insight Agent.
