Salesforce aims to make e-commerce smarter with Cimulate acquisition
"Cimulate develops technology that responds precisely to this need. The company has built a so-called "intent-aware context engine," a system that analyzes both real and simulated customer experiences to better understand what a shopper is looking for. This enables online stores to display more relevant search results and make personalized recommendations throughout the purchasing process. By integrating this technology into Agentforce Commerce, Salesforce wants to make it easier for consumers to discover and compare products in real time."
"At the same time, retailers should be able to work more efficiently and focus more on brand development and growth strategies, rather than on technical optimization of search functions. According to Nitin Mangtani, senior vice president and general manager of Commerce and Retail at Salesforce, e-commerce is shifting toward what he calls "agentic commerce." AI plays an active role in guiding customers. In his vision, online stores go beyond simple transactions and evolve into interactive and conversation-driven shopping experiences."
