Fast Simon in 2024

In 2024 we witnessed the world moving towards the benefits that AI can bring to society in different sectors. In the eCommerce world, this is no different. At Fast Simon we have been using AI to provide the most optimized eCommerce solutions for some time. This year we pushed forward with new developments to streamline your store, boost UX and ultimately increase conversions.

New Additions To Our Platform

We provided a variety of new additions to our eCommerce solution in 2024 across the board. Some of the highlights were our new Chat AI Assistant which utilizes the benefits of chat technology to provide improved customer service.

We saw several improvements to optimize our integration with the leading mobile app optimization platform Tapcart, and also to our Upsell and Cross-sell recommendations personalization capabilities. All this, plus many more.

A/B Testing For Upsell & Cross-sell Personalization

Our A/B testing for Upsell and Cross-sell recommendations combines the benefits of A/B testing, with the benefits of personalization. Personalized recommendations are a key staple of an eCommerce store. You may recognize them as ‘You May Also Like’ or ‘Related Products’. Since these are so important to your eCommerce strategy, it makes sense to be able to A/B test these and make sure they are working in the best way possible.

SSR Smart Rendering

Javascript long loading times are a thing of the past. With Server Side Rendering, you can reduce page loading times, boost SEO and increase organic traffic to your store. Plus, our Smart SSR module can be implemented through a drag and drop editor, with no need for lengthy or costly backend development.

Gen AI Hybrid Search

We have always prided ourselves on our search engine optimization. With the introduction of Vector Search in 2023, in 2024 we took this one step further to include a multimodal search. Our machine learning enables searches to be from text and other media options input. This allows for a broader scope of search options, and removes the need for keyword search which is often flawed.



Conversational Commerce AI Bot

Our chat technology module creates the potential for AI generated store assistance 24/7. Our chat bot can answer FAQs, inform people of the status of their orders and deliveries, thereby freeing up human resources for more complex queries. As more customers expect higher levels of communication, our chatbot helps solve this issue.

Merchandising AI Assistant

On the subject of chat technology, why should this AI just benefit the customers? Our AI merchandising assistant functions as a chatbot that helps merchants choose the best merchandising strategies for their store. Using our analytics platform, and expertise in eCommerce merchandising, we can ensure that your store is making the smartest decisions about its strategy.

Fast Simon & Hydrogen

Our integration with Hydrogen uses the server-side power of Shopify’s platform to create a search and discovery solution with unprecedented speed and agility. This creates a superior shopping experience combining lightning fast Hydrogen with Fast Simon’s award winning features.

Fast Simon & Shopify Markets

Another capacity within Shopify that we saw in 2024 was the ability to integrate with Shopify Markets. This gives you the ease and ability to transform your Shopify store from one market location to another simply. The currency will translate to the local currency of the new market. Expanding your business has never been so easy.

Personalized Tiles

Our personalized tiles within merchandising allows merchants to seamlessly combine merchandising and personalization strategies. All this can be done without backend development, creating the potential for a more tailored and successful personalization strategy. 



Tapcart Integration Upgrades

Our longstanding integration with the mobile app optimization platform Tapcart has always provided users many benefits. This year we added a range of additions to our integration such as:

• One click merchandising

• Custom Blocks

• Collection Loading

• Visual Discovery & Search

All of these new features ensure that mobile apps are of the same quality as web browsers. This facilitates an optimized omnichannel strategy, and boosts UX tenfold.

Curated Sets

Our new curated sets in merchandising means that creating relevant sets has never been easier. It creates the capacity for flexible set sizes, natural placement, unified presentation and respect for bury and OOS demotions. This means your sets will be constantly up to date, and tailored to fit your needs.
