Where iAdvize Was Recognized as a "Strong Performer"
iAdvize was named a “Strong Performer” in “The Forrester Wave™: Digital Customer Interaction Solutions (DCIS) Q2 2024 - The 11 Most Significant Providers and Their Rankings”, and received top scores possible in eight criteria. Below are the criteria and our perspective on them:
- Conversational Commerce
From the beginning, iAdvize has had a simple mission: make brands conversational. We’re driven by the idea of humanizing the online buyer journey to create a digital shopping experience as rich and seamless as the one they expect in-store.
- Interaction Design
The customer experience is a major factor in facilitating satisfying and effective conversations over digital channels. The e-commerce user experience is essential, and there’s always a focus on making it even more frictionless and tailored to customers.
- Proactive Engagement
In the ultra-competitive world of e-commerce, and diminishing consumer attention spans, being able to connect with shoppers at the exact moment they need support, even going so far as to proactively anticipate their needs, is crucial. In line with interaction design, iAdvize has developed a new feature called Conversation Starters, which is a new conversational engagement format natively integrated into the flow of a brand’s product pages.
- Generative AI
To enhance brand-consumer interactions and increase online sales, we developed Trusted Generative AI—a secure, compliant artificial intelligence to power our solution. From there, we built our AI shopping assistant, iAdvize Copilot™, to help shoppers discover, choose, and buy products. Forrester cited this tool’s product recommendations use case as powerful.
- Adaptive Digital Strategy Optimization
Flexibility is key in conversational commerce. With consumer and brand needs always evolving, consistent and high-quality customer support is necessary. For this reason, it's essential to have integrated reporting and analysis tools within the customer interaction solution that connect operations to business objectives. This is the case with the reports available in iAdvize, which provide actionable insights for optimizing strategies.
- Vision
The report notes iAdvize's focus on transforming e-commerce into a conversational experience through our iAdvize Copilot™ for Shoppers and iAdvize Copilot™ for Agents suites, powered by our Trusted Generative AI solution.
- Innovation
In the report, Forrester also evaluates the ability to innovate. With the highest score possible in this criteria, iAdvize demonstrates our commitment to revolutionizing brand-consumer interactions into the future.
“iAdvize is an excellent fit for e-commerce and digital business leaders open to rethinking traditional engagement paradigms and incorporating conversational experiences in new ways.”
