Picitup Announces Picolor - First Fully Automatic Search by Color Platform
Picitup announced today the availability of Picolor, a fully automatic platform enabling internet retailers to deploy search by color on their online product images based on Picitup's image recognition technology. Following 4 years of development with multiple customers including Shopping.com and eBay.com, Picitup has perfected its platform and now offers it to customers worldwide.
TELEVIV, Israel, Aug. 10 -- Picitup announced today the availability of Picolor, a fully automatic platform enabling internet retailers to deploy search by color on their online product images based on Picitup's image recognition technology. Following 4 years of development with multiple customers including Shopping.com and eBay.com, Picitup has perfected its platform and now offers it to customers worldwide.
Color search is deployed by 47% of top 100 internet retailers.
"Color search is becoming a must for every online retailer. Having said that, we have found that while 47% of the top 100 online retailers offer color search, only 26% of those ranked 401-500 deploy it, we expect more customers to make the move to Picolor over the next year," said CEO, Alon Atsmon.
-- It offers 320 optimized search colors, more than any other solution
-- It provides multicolor search of any color combination up to 5 levels
deep
-- Its technology extracts the main object from its background and
compensates for lighting conditions hence achieves over 90% precision
Picolor has several further advantages over current solutions:
Several customers have already benefited from deploying Picolor, creativewallcovering.com, an international online retailer of wall coverings, murals and wallpaper borders, recently deployed Picolor. "We looked for methods that would improve our customer experience and turnover," said Sophia Lewis, partner at Creative Wall Covering, "Not only would Picolor save time by eliminating the need to enter data but by scanning our existing images it would allow us to offer a broader color search option."
