Case Study: Zenni Optical achieves faster, AI-driven product discovery with Algolia

Global online eyewear company sees exceptional results with Algolia AI Search

Zenni Optical, a global online eyewear company, needed to improve fast, accurate product discovery across its e-commerce experiences. The team wanted to replace two legacy search platforms, Endeca and Sitecore, with one secure, cloud-hosted solution that could handle the nuances of eyewear search and deliver results quickly, and they chose Algolia Search for the job.

Algolia helped Zenni deploy a single search engine across its website and mobile store in just two months, with partner AAXIS Digital supporting implementation. The new setup improved search speed, relevance, and merchandising flexibility for a catalog of about 5,000 SKUs, while Algolia Neural Search is being tested to better manage complex synonyms and multilingual variations; Zenni says this could greatly reduce manual work and simplify merchandising as the company scales.
