The Challenge
A medium-size e-commerce startup with a catalog of 10 million products wanted to enable customers to find and purchase items by simply uploading a photo. Traditional search methods were falling short — users couldn't easily describe what they wanted, and text-based search was ineffective for visual products.
The product team needed to:
- Match user-uploaded images to products in their 10M+ catalog
- Handle photos taken from any angle, lighting, or quality
- Deliver instant results to keep users engaged
- Enable "visual search to purchase" workflows
- Scale the solution to handle thousands of searches per day
Generic image recognition APIs couldn't accurately match against their specific product catalog at scale. They needed a custom computer vision tool trained on their exact inventory.
