What do you like best about Constructor?

Having our company search being erratic and providing results that just weren't what our customers wanted to see, onboarding Constructor has enormously changed our platform. Their service is the next level of amazing. Always available to answer any emails and calls almost immediately no matter the time difference. Great team to work with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you have lost or deleted csv file in error that you used to upload for your collection initially, you cannot easily download file from a collection created. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Constructor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Great search results, easily able to slot and boost products has become easier compared a very very manual way of working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Constructor?

The most helpful aspect of Constructor is the ability to manage so many aspects of the product discovery experience directly from the Constructor Dashboard. Having the ability to cut out so many manual steps to optimize product search and browse saves a lot of time and headache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Constructor?

Sometimes the technical aspects of how Constructor approaches relevancy and attractiveness can be a little confusing, the concepts a little hard to grasp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Constructor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Constructor has dramatically eliminated the number of zero and limited results searches that Meijer users see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Constructor?

The Constructor team is quite responsive in our connected slack channels. Whenever our team has a question, we fire it away, and despite the time zone differences with the core team, they are quick to jump in and help us either understand what needs to be done, pointing to resources and documentation that are helpful, or being honest about when they need to take it back to find out the answer for us. They feel like an extension of our team. Ang, Sarah, Steve, Stanley, and Chris have been a pleasure to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Constructor?

The analytics are so good that I find myself wanting to share the graphs broadly, but I wish I could export the data to CSV so I can create charts for internal presentations that use our brand colors. The constructor graphs are pretty neat though. Very insightful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Constructor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Constructor is improving the searchability of our broad catalog. The extra layered intelligence creates relevance between related items in our catalog, making it easier for our customers to not only find what they are looking for but to also find similar items that they may not have known to search for. AI fills the gap between the data we provide and the expectations of our customers when searching for something to buy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Melinda Lane of Constructor

Hi Paolo, thank you for taking the time to review Constructor. We are obsessed with building a true partnership with customers like yourself and it is fantastic to read how highly you value our customer success team. We did hear your feedback on exporting our analytics and insights data and are currently working full steam on adding export functionality to the dashboard - stay tuned for more in the near future.

What do you like best about Constructor?

Constructor is an easy and helpful tool to learn. Once implemented, the amount of information about individual customers and their behaviors is endless. I learn something new using it every time I log in! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Constructor?

For our business, it is difficult when we have things that are very specific showing up in search results for something very broad. It could help to optimize each individual search result but also time consuming when the tool does a lot of the heavy lifting for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Constructor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Constructor helps us the most in creating collections specific to the category page and easily featuring new products or popular products in certain site or search pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Constructor?

Constructor is the evolution search needed to head towards infusing AI/ML smarts with vital data input to drive relevancy and accuracy for our customers. The platform offers a robust range of configurations without it being a burden and augmenting this baseline with its click stream intelligence to drive meaningful search results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Constructor?

The platform took a bit longer to integrate than I had hoped for. However, this is equally due to our infrastructure and team. Constructor's client success team made the process easier and more streamlined than it would have been had they not been on hand to help guide our folks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Constructor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Speed, accuracy and relevancy. Constructor has wholesale lifted our search capability and functionality, and this uplift was a critical step in our journey to ensure our user experience meets customer expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having more insights into how our customers are using our website, specially search, and having Constructor AI boosting or promoting articles to increase conversion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall it is a very positive experience, but we've encountered some blockers copying over settings from different indexes to others - but Constructor's support has been helpful every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Constructor solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a better hands-off solution now for search, sort and ranking. Also, we're starting to look now into including other features that were not initially planned, like recommendations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Constructor?

It’s rare that I come across a martech company that combines both true innovation and a white-glove service. Constructor.io is one of the best vendors we have ever on-boarded to date! Their team is extremely attentive to our needs, and has set us up for success! Since onboarding Constructor.io we’ve seen an incremental lift on RPV (Revenue Per Visitor).

It's no secret: there are a lot of Search/Recommendation platforms on the market, and switching between them is not easy. So it's important to shop around and choose the right one. If you are in e-commerce, I genuinely believe you're in safe hands with Constructor and would recommend them over any other Search vendor (trust me, we did our research). We switched from Algolia to Constructor.io and the experience has been night and day.

The team is fantastic and the product is very well thought out. Constructor offers a full suite of tools and they continue to add more. Our merchandisers now have the tools and insights to be effective merchandisers and are empowered to do quite a bit while working alongside Constructor’s AI.

What we also like about Constructor is that they LISTEN. Some of our business use cases are unique in e-commerce, and Constructor has worked with us to find solutions and solve for our problems. I also can’t emphasize this enough: their dedicated account managers are the best we’ve ever experienced. They're not only knowledgeable, but act almost as an extension of our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Constructor?

We'd love for Constructor.io to continue to innovate on their recommendation pods. This includes "Complete the Look" and "Visual/Discovery Recommendations." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Constructor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Search Relevance, Search Auto Suggest, Recommendations, PLP product sorting, Facet Reordering, Dashboard Insights, Enhanced Merchandising Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Melinda Lane of Constructor

Hi Alexander, thank you for your review - making our customers successful both through the product achieving outstanding results and the best customer success experience in the industry is what gets the Constructor team up every morning. You made our day!

We are also excited to share with you that we heard your Recommendations enhancement request and added the functionality for visual recommendations since October. You can now create the ‘Complete the Look’ recommendations through our bundling features.
