“We chose Smile ElasticSuite for our Magento 2 e-commerce site because of its exceptional search performance, ease of configuration and use, and flexibility. The solution has transformed our search engine, enhancing the user experience with fast and relevant searches. Additionally, the responsive technical support and active community have been very helpful to us. Its integration into Hyvä is further facilitated by the compatibility module, with all the important features for us (optimizer, virtual categories, etc…) available 'out of the box.' Since the integration, we have noticed a significant increase in our conversion rates and customer satisfaction. Smile ElasticSuite is a crucial strategic choice for optimizing an e-commerce site.”
