As a brand specialist,Peek&Cloppenburg*, a long-established company from Hamburg, offers quality, variety, and fashion expertise from a single source. Peek&Cloppenburg* Hamburg accompanies customers on their fashion discovery journey in modern architecture, where they should feel comfortable. However, this journey should not end in the fashion stores, but should also continue in the online shop. That is why Peek&Cloppenburg* wants to meet these high quality standards digitally as well, thereby increasing the performance of its online shop—all with the support of epoq internet services, the expert in online shop personalization. Since 2012, the fashion company Peek&Cloppenburg* has been operating an online shop together with its subsidiary VAN GRAAF, thereby developing into an omni-channel fashion store.

The ecommerce search engine function provides guidance and helps customers find the product they want.

In order to remain successful online, the architecture of the site and its usability must be constantly reviewed. For this reason, Peek&Cloppenburg* Hamburg commissioned epoq to connect theecommerce search engine engine epoq Searchto the existing shop system and expand the search functionality. Thanks to the ecommerce search engine and the restructuring of the categories in the product catalog carried out by epoq, shop visitors can find the products they want quickly and easily. For example, even if there are spelling mistakes, the right clothing is offered, and amultifaceted filter functionkeeps customers on the site until they make a purchase decision.

Of course, an ecommerce search engine offers additional functions, such as product sorting or redirects to specific landing pages. However, the key factor is that the epoq Search algorithm works quickly and reliably on the existing product catalog. This has a positive impact on performance and also minimizes administrative effort. Online Product Manager Christin Augustin confirms this: "Integrating epoq Search not only optimized the search experience for our customers, but also significantly reduced the effort required for maintenance."
