Netting top honors for ecommerce ‘Company of the Year,’ ‘Executive of the Year’ and ‘New Product of the Year,’ Constructor is recognized by judges for ‘significantly improving user experiences and retailer metrics’

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Constructor, the leading AI-powered search and product discovery platform for enterprise ecommerce companies, today announced it has earned three gold Stevie® Awards — the highest level honor — in the 2024 Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence. A powerhouse in the ecommerce category, Constructor won for ecommerce “Company of the Year,” “Executive of the Year” (for CEO Eli Finkelshteyn) and “New Product of the Year” (for its AI Shopping Assistant) — a strong testament to Constructor’s impact, leadership and continual product innovation.

Dubbed “the Olympics for technology,” the Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence celebrate the remarkable accomplishments of individuals, teams and organizations shaping the future of technology across all industry sectors. This first annual program is part of the broader Stevie Awards organization — which hosts the world’s premier business awards, receiving more than 12,000 entries across its competitions each year.

Take it from the judges
In the Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence, more than 100 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s honorees. Here’s a sample of what the judges had to say:

About Constructor, Company of the Year, Ecommerce

Constructor “is not only excelling in its field but also pushing the boundaries of what is possible in ecommerce technology.””Their solutions are not only cutting-edge but also practical and user-friendly.””The expertise and dedication of the Constructor team are clear. Their ability to consistently deliver high-quality solutions is commendable.””Their technology has delivered significant results for major retailers.””Constructor’s vision for the future and their plans for continued innovation and growth are exciting and promising.””The company’s innovative tools… have significantly improved user experiences and retailer metrics.””Transformative and groundbreaking ecommerce search capabilities.”Constructor’s “consistent revenue growth, customer retention and strategic funding highlight their industry impact.””Constructor impressively leverages AI and generative AI to enhance ecommerce — driving significant results for retailers, such as increased revenue and improved search conversions.”

About Constructor’s AI Shopping Assistant (ASA), New Product of the Year, Ecommerce

“A game-changer in the ecommerce space.””The tool’s innovative approach and proven results highlight its potential to transform online shopping.””The product’s ability to handle natural language queries and provide personalized recommendations is a significant advancement over traditional methods.””ASA provides a trusted-associate-like experience in ecommerce, setting a new standard for interactive and personalized product discovery.”ASA’s “ability to deliver tailored recommendations based on real-time inventory and shopper preferences demonstrates a significant leap in creating dynamic, responsive shopping experiences.””A groundbreaking conversational product discovery tool that has significantly enhanced customer satisfaction, revenue generation and website traffic for ecommerce retailers.”ASA “showcases a strong commitment to innovation and user-centric design.””A valuable asset for ecommerce businesses, enhancing both customer satisfaction and revenue.””A sophisticated solution that elevates the standard for digital shopping experiences.”

Blending generative AI and Constructor’s personalization technology, ASA enables shoppers — who may not be sure exactly what they want — to break away from the traditional model of using just terse keywords in ecommerce search. Shoppers can pose longform questions — like “I’m going camping with my kids for the first time in the White Mountains. What supplies do we need?” or “Help me find an outfit for a beach wedding in the Caribbean in June.” — and get recommendations that make sense, are in stock and are personalized to them. With ASA, grocers, apparel brands and general retailers have seen results including: 10% increase in website revenue, 6% increase in search conversions, 7% increase in clicks and more.

In addition, regarding Constructor’s CEO Eli Finkelshteyn, judges praised him for being a “transformative leader” with “an excellent track record of innovation in ecommerce” — whose “contributions have not only propelled Constructor to new heights, but have also significantly advanced the ecommerce industry as a whole.”

Additional momentum
These wins come on the heels of other major milestones for Constructor. The company recently doubled revenue for the third straight year; secured $25 million in Series B funding (nearly tripling its valuation, to $550 million, since 2021); and continued its rapid expansion across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In the last six months alone, Constructor’s platform has powered more than 100 billion shopper interactions — enabling brands to drive hundreds of millions of personalized, revenue-generating experiences each day.

Earlier this year, Constructor also won a gold Stevie® Award and People’s Choice Stevie® Award in the Stevies’ American Business Awards program.

“We’re humbled and gratified by the Stevies’ recognition of our company, leadership and product innovation,” said Constructor CEO Eli Finkelshteyn. “It’s a fantastic testament to our hardworking team and world-class customers — and the results those customers achieve every day through Constructor. Feedback like this validates our vision and motivates us further. We’re excited to continue to push the boundaries of ecommerce innovation: showing companies ‘what’s next’ and driving great value for them in the process.”

eSign.AI Named Sole Electronic Signature Technology Provider for Hong Kong Government’s CorpID Project, Building the Foundation for Digital Signing Infrastructure in Hong Kong

Published

on

By

HONG KONG, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Hong Kong’s Digital Corporate Identity Platform (CorpID) counts down to its phased launch, eSign.AI has been appointed as the sole electronic signature vendor in the project, responsible for delivering core digital signing capabilities including digital signatures, certificate management, and signature verification services. CorpID is led by Nexify, a seasoned government systems integrator, as the prime contractor. The platform is expected to launch in phases starting late 2026, with multiple CorpID-based e-government services going live in mid-2027.

CorpID: Government-Grade Digital Identity Infrastructure for Hong Kong Enterprises

The Digital Corporate Identity Platform (CorpID) is an enterprise-level digital services platform launched by the Hong Kong SAR Government, developed under the oversight of the Digital Policy Office (DPO). It is designed to serve as the business equivalent of “iAM Smart,” providing a unified digital identity foundation for Hong Kong enterprises. CorpID’s core mission is to build an integrated digital government infrastructure — offering unified identity authentication, digital signing, form pre-filling, and e-licence storage — replacing paper-heavy, cumbersome traditional processes and enabling smart city development through seamless data connectivity.

The platform is open to companies incorporated under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) and businesses registered under the Business Registration Ordinance (Cap. 310), including sole proprietorships and partnerships. The DPO requires all enterprise-related e-government services to support CorpID within 18 months of launch, and will continue expanding ecosystem coverage through sandbox initiatives, cross-industry identity standard interoperability, and fully online registration processes.

eSign.AI: The Digital Signing Engine Behind CorpID

eSign.AI is an AI-native electronic signature and contract automation platform built for enterprises worldwide, offering a complete signing framework from simple electronic signatures to the highest-level compliant digital signatures — meeting diverse regulatory requirements across industries and jurisdictions.

On the identity verification front, eSign.AI has completed integration with iAM Smart, enabling individual identity verification through Hong Kong’s citizen digital identity system, and providing legally valid digital certificate services for both enterprises and individuals.

Looking ahead, the eSign.AI SaaS platform will be deeply integrated with CorpID, providing enterprise and individual identity verification for Hong Kong businesses, and supporting both electronic and digital signing that complies with Hong Kong’s Electronic Transactions Ordinance — connecting the full digital contracting lifecycle for government and enterprise alike.

Getting Ahead of the AI Era: From eSignGlobal to eSign.AI

The electronic signature industry is undergoing a structural shift from “tooling” to “intelligence.” Market data underscores this acceleration: the AI-powered contract analysis tools market has grown from USD 3.32 billion in 2025 to USD 4.3 billion in 2026, at a CAGR of 29.6%. Signing is just one node in the contract lifecycle — document generation, workflow orchestration, compliance tracking, and post-execution management are all being transformed by AI, and the industry window is closing fast.

In April 2026, the company officially rebranded from eSignGlobal to eSign.AI, completing its strategic transformation from an e-signature tool provider to an AI-native contract automation platform. As the company’s spokesperson noted, this rebrand is not cosmetic — it is an acknowledgment of where the product actually is. Customers were already using eSign.AI to automate workflows that go far beyond the signature itself.

eSign Automation Skill was launched alongside the rebrand — an AI-powered signing automation framework for enterprise workflows that enables complete contract signing through natural language interaction, with no manual intervention required. Whether it is single-party approval, multi-party sequential signing, or large-scale parallel execution, an AI Agent can orchestrate the entire workflow in a single call. All signature initiations and status queries return structured JSON outputs, directly parseable by leading large language models and intelligent workflow systems.

eSign Automation is now available in the OpenClaw ecosystem and supports integration via Claude MCP, ChatGPT, and other leading AI platforms.

By combining AI automation capabilities with CorpID’s government-grade digital identity infrastructure, eSign.AI delivers a complete solution for Hong Kong enterprises — from identity verification to intelligent signing to full workflow automation.

About eSign.AI

eSign.AI (formerly eSignGlobal) is an AI-native electronic signature and contract automation platform built for enterprises worldwide. The platform serves over 100 countries and regions, covering core industries including financial services, manufacturing, real estate, human resources, and healthcare — with 1,500+ scenario applications and 3,000+ ecosystem partners. eSign.AI holds ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and ISO 27018 certifications and supports major regulatory frameworks including the U.S. ESIGN Act / UETA, EU eIDAS, HIPAA, GDPR, and 21 CFR Part 11. Infrastructure is anchored by independent data centers in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Frankfurt, Germany.

Published

on

By

SINGAPORE, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The winners of the 2026 German Red Dot Design Award were officially announced. Five of SUNMI Technology’s flagship products won awards: the CPad Business Tablet, CPad PAY, FLEX 3 Interactive Display, the V3 handheld POS Terminal and L3 Industrial PDA. These products stood out with three core design concepts: integration, versatility and human-centricity.

Known as “The Oscars” of global industrial design, the Red Dot Award has strict evaluation criteria covering aesthetics, ergonomics, scenario adaptability and sustainability. SUNMI adheres to original commercial scenario customization, rejecting crudely modified consumer devices. All winning products are originally developed for real commercial scenarios such as cash register, food delivery, industrial inspection and store operations, covering the entire commercial track with high scenario adaptability. Meanwhile, it practices ESG concepts, adopting eco-friendly materials and modular structures to extend equipment service life, reduce consumable consumption, and implement low-carbon and long-term design, which perfectly meets the Red Dot’s sustainability evaluation criteria.

Simplify Complexity: With highly integrated design, SUNMI eliminates the “patchwork feeling” of cluttered devices and tangled cables in traditional commercial scenarios, streamlining store operations and saving space.All-in-One Versatility: Beyond a single tool function, SUNMI’s products achieve flexible transformation through modular and multi-form designs to proactively adapt to changing business needs. The CPad series with modular accessories and FLEX 3’s Lego-style modular design enable multi-scenario application and long-term reuse.Human-Centric Design: Every detail is human-oriented, focusing on real pain points to enhance scenario experience. The L3 Industrial PDA reduces high-frequency work fatigue through scientific weight distribution; the V3 Smart POS Terminal balances large-screen visibility and grip comfort; CPad PAY integrates full-link functions to simplify workflows.

These honors stem from SUNMI’s long-term commitment to a sustainable society, original commercial R&D and ESG. In the future, SUNMI will uphold its core concepts, expand the boundaries of commercial industrial design, and empower global businesses with user-oriented, eco-friendly and high-value products.
