Search and Recommendation Services

How AI search and recommendation systems drive revenue

Traditional keyword search often misses intent, while generic recommendation engines struggle to reflect your business rules. Pento designs search and recommendation systems that improve relevance in real operating environments.

Real outcome

We built a recommendation engine for an ecommerce platform with 2M+ SKUs. Add-to-cart rate up 34%. Fully live in 7 weeks.

What you get

  • Deployed recommendation API integrated with your product catalog
  • A/B testing setup to measure lift against your current baseline
  • Reranking logic you can tune as business rules change

Semantic search vs. keyword search: what the upgrade looks like

Pento's approach combines retrieval, ranking, personalization, and feedback loops into one practical system. We tailor each implementation to your data model, catalog structure, user journeys, and performance requirements.

How we build and deploy search and recommendation systems

01

Discovery and Relevance Assessment

We start by reviewing your catalog, content sources, user behavior, business rules, and current discovery experience.

This helps us identify where users drop off and where recommendations can create measurable value.

02

Retrieval, Ranking, and Personalization Design

Next, we design the architecture for indexing, semantic search, ranking features, recommendation logic, and experimentation.

This includes how relevance signals, embeddings, and business constraints should work together.

03

Pilot and Relevance Validation

Before scaling broadly, we validate the experience with pilot implementations and offline or live evaluation.

We measure ranking quality, click-through behavior, conversion impact, latency, and edge cases.

04

Production Integration and Optimization

After validation, Pento integrates the solution into your product, content platform, or internal tools.

We support APIs, experimentation, analytics, and monitoring so your team can manage relevance over time.
