Constructor Experiences Rapid Growth and Momentum in EMEA: Helping More Ecommerce Companies Improve Product Discovery with AI

Constructor, the leading AI-powered product discovery and search platform for enterprise ecommerce companies, announced growth and momentum across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) — significantly increasing both customers and headcount. As more ecommerce companies in the region tap into Constructor, they’re realizing benefits including greater engagement, conversions and revenue.

Constructor works with leading ecommerce brands in EMEA including Birkenstock, Under Armour (EMEA and North American operations), Monica Vinader, Very, home24 and more — as well as many others around the world.

Over the last year, Constructor has seen strong growth in customers in EMEA — particularly in the apparel, home goods and furnishings, toys, grocery, do-it-yourself (DIY), B2B ecommerce and general retail categories. These companies rely on Constructor’s award-winning, AI-based platform to create personalized, revenue-generating experiences across the buyer journey: in search results, browse experiences, product recommendations, landing pages (“Collections”) and more.

UK-based online retailer Very, who went live with Constructor in early 2024, uses the platform to power search, browse and Collections pages for more than 1 million site visitors each day.

“Shoppers have more options than ever when shopping online, and at Very, we’re constantly seeking opportunities to enhance customer experiences,” said Paul Hornby, digital customer experience director, The Very Group. “With Constructor, we’ve been able to do just that – deliver more personalized search results that are optimized for each customer’s unique preferences, and intuitively help them discover great products.”
