What high-intent search could look like at Macy's

Here’s a quick walkthrough showing how intent-aware ranking, in-session personalization, and typo-tolerant search can surface the products shoppers are most likely to convert on — without adding manual work for your team.

Trusted by leading retailers
modernizing product discovery

Enterprise retailers trust Constructor to deliver personalized, profitable shopping experiences powered by verified shopper data and AI that learns at scale.

We help enterprise retailers personalize discovery at scale, turning data into profitable journeys that delight shoppers and deliver measurable ROI.

From Gap, to Belk, to Under Armour, fashion leaders use Constructor to optimize product discovery and sell-through — achieving +27% lift in search conversion rate and +23% more recommendation clicks versus legacy systems like Algolia.

Case in point: Belk, a long-standing department store with nearly 300 locations, partnered with Constructor to modernize its search and discovery experience. By replacing manual tuning and guesswork with AI-driven optimization, Belk unlocked significant gains in revenue per visitor and delivered a more intuitive, personalized shopper journey.

Like Macy's, Belk operates in a complex, fast-moving retail environment where search performance directly influences sell-through and profitability — making it a strong example of how Constructor turns verified shopper data into measurable business impact.

“'Hey, did you see Belk has a shopping assistant?' has become a word-of-mouth driver that’s elevating the brand’s reputation as an innovator. In addition to the revenue increases, it’s generating curiosity and creating new reasons for shoppers to visit the site."
