Case Study: Live Platforms achieves faster, more relevant marketplace search with Algolia

Gem and Jewelry marketplace polishes its search experience with Algolia

Live Platforms, a Queensland, Australia-based software company that runs auction marketplaces for opals, gemstones, jewelry, coins, and bullion, needed a faster and more scalable search experience as its five sites grew to hundreds of thousands of listings. Its in-house AWS search engine had become too complex, slow, and expensive, making it harder to deliver the relevant results and trust-building experience its high-value buyers and sellers needed.

Live Platforms implemented Algolia to power search and discovery across its marketplaces. With Algolia, the company gained the speed and relevance it needed, delivering results in about 3 milliseconds and improving the overall site experience for more than 900 sellers and millions of items sold across its platforms.
