Overview

Twenga is a Paris-based shopping search engine that aggregates over 400 million products. The platform runs a conversion prediction engine that uses more than 40 factors to estimate purchase intent and maximize campaign ROI. Its commercial offerings include Smart LEADS, designed to deliver high-quality leads, and Smart SEM, focused on optimizing paid search budgets. The company serves approximately 4,000 e‑retailer clients and employs about 150 people. Twenga plans to use newly raised funds to hire roughly 50 additional staff across engineering, data science, marketing and sales by the end of the year, accelerate development of its acquisition solutions, and expand internationally. In February 2015 it raised €10m ($10.9m) in funding from Idinvest Partners. Twenga is a product search/meta-search engine that returns results as a wall of product images and lets users refine by price and features. Its results include user reviews and images in addition to price comparisons. Twenga offers advanced features such as price tracking and can run complex queries (for example, searches for a 10% price drop). The service is focused on European markets and is translated into six languages: French, German, Italian, Polish, Spanish, and English. As of November 2007 the network reached 7 million visitors and had indexed over 40 million offers from 25,000 merchants. These audience and index metrics are presented alongside the product-search features as the company's operational footprint.
