The Challenge

Doofinder’s Limitations Adversely Impacted Conversions & Customer Retention

A fast-growing D2C clothing and apparel brand struggled with inefficient on-site search and clunky product discovery. Their previous solution, Doofinder, offered basic keyword search capabilities but lacked the intelligence needed to guide shoppers through extensive, style-rich collections. The result? Missed conversions, overwhelmed users, and low search-to-checkout rates.

Key Challenges the Brand Faced

Limited Contextual Search
Doofinder’s search often returned irrelevant results, failing to understand shopper intent beyond keywords.
Poor Mobile Search Experience
On smaller screens, users faced slow, multi-step filters and dropdowns that led to high drop-offs.
Lack of Visual Merchandising Control
The brand couldn’t promote priority SKUs or optimize how collections appeared to different customer segments.
Generic Filtering Options
Shoppers were forced to dig through irrelevant filters that didn’t account for style, size availability, or seasonality.
Minimal Search Personalization
There was no dynamic learning from shopper behavior, resulting in static, one-size-fits-all search results.

The Solution

ConversionBox Turned Search Into a Sales Engine—Smarter, Faster, and Built for Fashion

To unlock intelligent shopping journeys, the brand switched from Doofinder to ConversionBox’s AI-powered product discovery suite, which includes AI Site Search, Product Filter, and Merchandising tools. With ConversionBox, the site could finally understand shopper intent, personalize discovery, and offer lightning-fast mobile experiences that increased engagement and checkout rates.
