Caleres, FleetPride, and Freedom Furniture Leverage Coveo AI-Search to Personalize Product Discovery and Boost Conversions
MONTREAL, LONDON and NEW YORK, May 22, 2025 /CNW/ – Coveo, the leader in AI-Relevance, delivering best-in-class AI-search and generative experiences that maximize business outcomes at every point-of-experience, today announced that leading business-to-consumer and business-to-business brands Caleres, FleetPride, and Freedom Furniture are leveraging its AI-RelevanceTM platform to transform online experiences, boost conversions, and unlock new growth opportunities. By delivering relevant, personalized interactions across the entire customer journey, Coveo empowers businesses to delight consumers and drive significant revenue gains.
The Coveo 2025 Commerce Relevance report, a survey of 4,000 adults across the US and UK, found that 77% of shoppers research online before buying, even if they buy in-store, and 43% of those surveyed said if they have a goal in mind they head to the search bar. This represents a huge opportunity for companies to win big or lose big as, if search falls short, the report found that 72% of shoppers will leave, with 36% going straight to a competitor. Coveo equips companies with AI-search to enhance engagement through intelligent, tailored experiences that reduce friction and deepen loyalty.
“Too often, online experiences are frustrating and unproductive for customers. In today’s digital landscape, businesses win or lose based on the precision, speed, and intelligence of their online experience,” said Peter Curran, GM of Commerce at Coveo. “Coveo is proud to partner with leading brands who are transforming their digital experiences with AI-search to deliver the relevance and personalization that their customers demand – and who have the impressive business metrics to prove that these efforts drive significant revenue growth.”
Caleres Steps into the Future of Ecommerce with Advanced Search and Discovery
Caleres is one of the most successful shoe retailers you’ve never heard of. The multi-billion St. Louis-based parent of Famous Footwear, Sam Edelman, Dr-Scholls, Vince and Veronica Beard traces its history to pre-Civil War, navigating more than 140 years of business by staying one step ahead of an ever-changing industry.
An early adopter of the web, Caleres witnessed the trends and growth of ecommerce take shape. A few years ago they identified that their search and discovery technology was not optimized to handle a complex catalog of more than 600,000 SKUs organized by color, size, width, and store availability. They were unable to adjust, test, or access data regarding on-site search, product listing pages, and product recommendations. Finally, they relied on thousands of manual rules that were time-consuming and difficult for merchandisers to maintain. For the evolution of their next generation ecommerce experience, they chose Coveo’s AI platform to power their search and experience layer.

FleetPride Accelerates Customer Service and Drives Revenue with Enhanced Digital Presence and Data-Driven Insights
In trucking, downtime is a liability costing thousands of dollars a day. Founded in 1999, FleetPride is North America’s largest distributor of truck and trailer parts and service in the independent heavy duty aftermarket. FleetPride’s 4000 experts across 300+ locations, 85+ service centers, and five distribution centers help customers find the products they need — as quickly as possible.
But FleetPride needed to catch up with its digital presence. Its website was failing to serve its customers, who needed an exact part number to order an item online. FleetPride’s siloed system of tracking inventory offline and online meant that customers often had limited visibility into stock availability or price. Adding to the problem, FleetPride’s website included a sprawling inventory of over one million parts and accessories. With Coveo’s artificial intelligence technology solutions and a better understanding of their customers, FleetPride was able to boost customer engagement, deflect customer cases, and create more sales opportunities through customized shopper experiences.
