Case Study: QVC achieves powerful real-time search and product discovery with Thunderstone Texis

QVC Customers Find What They Need With Texis

QVC, a major television and online retailer, needed a robust and highly programmable search solution for its website that could handle its entire inventory in real time. Their advanced requirements included combining text and numeric range queries for price-sensitive shoppers and ensuring sold-out items were instantly removed from search results. They selected the Texis software from vendor Thunderstone to address this challenge.

The Thunderstone Texis solution provided QVC with a powerful, real-time search engine that could be customized to their proprietary business logic. The results included the ability to perform complex parametric searches, power catalog browsing features, and serve millions of daily queries with consistent performance and rare downtime. This implementation was a key component of QVC's successful online platform, which generates a substantial portion of its $4.4 billion in annual sales.
