Ignitiv and Hawksearch Announce Partnership to Advance eCommerce Search with Vector Search
CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA, US, March 17, 2025 – Ignitiv, a full-service digital transformation and eCommerce solutions provider, today announced a strategic partnership with Bridgeline’s Hawksearch, an industry-leading search and recommendation platform, to bring HawkSearch’s cutting-edge Smart Search capabilities to online retailers. This collaboration aims to revolutionize how customers interact with eCommerce search by enabling a more intuitive, context-aware product discovery for higher conversions.

With Ignitiv’s deep expertise in eCommerce transformation, businesses can seamlessly integrate this innovative search capability to enhance user experience and maximize sales.
“Our mission has always been to create seamless and intelligent digital experiences that drive digital commerce growth for our clients. We are announcing this partnership with the go live of Smart Search capabilities for a common client, a globally leading operator of pop-up stores and kiosks worldwide. This partnership represents a significant leap forward in eCommerce search capabilities,” said Rajib Das, CEO of Ignitiv.
“Smart Search represents the next generation of AI-powered discovery, and we’re proud to partner with Calendars.com and Ignitiv to bring this innovation to life,” said Ari Kahn, CEO of Bridgeline. “This collaboration showcases how HawkSearch continues to evolve with the market, helping brands deliver smarter, faster, and more meaningful online experiences that drive real business results.”
For businesses looking to drive better search-to-conversion performance and stay ahead in the competitive digital commerce landscape, this partnership opens new possibilities for innovation and growth.
