Overview

Stormize was a SaaS platform that utilized artificial intelligence to optimize e-commerce merchandising in real-time. By tracking and processing visitor browsing patterns, the tool categorized users based on their purchase intent—intentional, undecided, or abandoned. This data helped merchants personalize the product showcase and user experience to maximize conversion rates and overall marketing ROI.

Founder story

Founded in 2015 and based in Paris, France, Stormize was led by founder Machavia Pichet. The company aimed to revolutionize e-commerce merchandising through AI-based behavioral prediction. Despite developing a sophisticated engine for tracking visitor intentions, the product struggled to find sustainable market traction and the company was eventually liquidated.
