Leading Brands Use Coveo AI to Transform their Ecommerce Product Discovery and Accelerate Revenue Growth
, 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-Relevance TM 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.

Quebec to 'Carefully Examine' New Proposal for Saguenay LNG Megaproject
The government of Premier Francois Legault is promising to "carefully examine" a proposal for a new gas liquefaction plant and terminal in the Saguenay-Lac St. Jean region that would be just as big as the GNL-Quebec megaproject the province rejected in 2021 after years of opposition, Le Devoir revealed in an exclusive dispatch Friday. The proposal by Marinvest Energy Canada, a subsidiary of Bergen, Norway-based Marinvest Energy, would also require a new pipeline through several hundred kilometres of wilderness to connect the plant with TC Energy's Canada-wide gas network, just as GNL-Quebec intended, Le Devoir writes. The gas would be produced by primarily by hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, a methane-intensive process that is prohibited in Quebec. After squashing the previous LNG proposal, Quebec became the world's first jurisdiction to ban oil and gas exploration in 2022. "We believe there is a strong business case for an LNG [liquefied natural gas] project in Quebec aimed at exporting Canadian natural gas to international markets, particularly in Europe," Greg Cano, one of three Marinvest Energy Canada directors and the only one not based in Norway, told Le Devoir in an email. "We believe Quebec can play a key role in diversifying export options for Canadian natural gas, particularly at a time when relying solely on the U.S. market presents increasing challenges." That optimism runs counter to an analysis released just six weeks ago by Investors for Paris Compliance (IPC), which pointed to an expected 40% increase in global LNG production between 2024 and 2028 to argue that there's no business case for a new terminal in Quebec. European LNG demand was down 18% between 2022 and 2024, and the group said Canadian exporters would also have trouble competing in Asian markets, The Canadian Press reported at the time. "Investing in infrastructure that will be very expensive and likely won't be profitable will weaken our economy rather than strengthen it," economist and IPC senior advisor Renaud Gignac told the news agency. IPC warned that inflation could drive the cost of the $18-billion GNL-Quebec project above $33 billion, making it impossible to complete without taxpayer subsidies. "These are considerable investments that mobilize public capital and labour as well," Gignac said. "When you direct resources to this type of project, you make choices, and we believe there are options that could be more profitable in the long term, for both public and private investors." One of Marinvest's identified lobbying targets, Hydro-Quebec, has been going all-in on those other options, with a planned $185-billion investment in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and new transmission over the next decade. Cano also tried to position LNG as "carbon-free" energy, even though methane is a climate super-pollutant with about 84 times the warming potential of carbon dioxide over the crucial 20-year span when humanity will be scrambling to get climate change under control. The Legault rejected the notion that gas is carbon-free in its response to the GNL-Quebec bid, "emphasizing in particular that the project that was to be built in Saguenay risked 'disadvantaging the energy transition' in the countries that would purchase this liquefied natural gas," Le Devoir says. A provincial spokesperson told the paper it was too soon to say whether the project would be eligible for subsidies, and the office of Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson wouldn't say whether it would qualify as one of the "nation-building" projects the Carney government is looking for. But "the current context is disrupting several aspects of our economy," a spokesperson for provincial Economy and Energy Minister Christine Frechette told Le Devoir in a statement. "We have always said that if new projects are presented, we are ready to examine them carefully. That is what we will do with this one." The spokesperson added that "social acceptability remains an essential condition for any project, and there will have to be benefits for Quebec." In a release, Greenpeace Canada urged the Carney government to exclude the Marinvest proposal from its list of nation-building projects, while calling on Quebec to "close the door on new fossil fuel transportation and export projects so that it can focus on renewable energy." "We should be building offshore wind farms, not floating fossil fuel plants", said Greenpeace Senior Energy Strategist Keith Stewart. "There is no way that a fossil fuel project with so little consultation and such a weak business case should be on Mark Carney's list of projects that can bypass environmental laws." Marinvest has hired two lobbyists to carry its message to the provincial government, Le Devoir reports, and two in Ottawa, Greenpeace says.

Japan's Resilience lander fails to stick moon landing again
TOKYO, Japan: Japan's hopes for a foothold in commercial lunar exploration suffered a second blow this week after Tokyo-based startup ispace confirmed its Resilience lander likely crashed on the moon. The attempted touchdown was meant to mark a milestone for Japan's private space ambitions but ended with lost contact and no confirmation of a soft landing. The uncrewed lander, carrying scientific payloads worth US$16 million, appears to have suffered issues measuring its distance to the lunar surface and failed to slow down in time, ispace said. Contact was lost just under two minutes before the scheduled touchdown. This was ispace's second failed attempt after its inaugural mission crashed in 2023 due to inaccurate altitude recognition. While the hardware design remained mostly unchanged, software updates had been made. Still, Resilience couldn't avoid a hard landing. "Truly diverse scenarios were possible, including issues with the propulsion system, software or hardware, especially with sensors," said Chief Technology Officer Ryo Ujiie. More than 500 people — including ispace staff, sponsors, and government officials — had gathered at a Tokyo venue to witness the historic moment. Instead, a tense silence descended when the signal was lost. Shares of ispace plunged, hitting sell-order limits and looking set to close down 29%. Still, CFO Jumpei Nozaki said the company faced "no immediate financial deterioration," citing continued investor backing. Resilience had targeted Mare Frigoris, a plain near the moon's north pole, where it planned to conduct 14 days of exploration — including NASA-contracted work capturing regolith. The mission carried a rover built by ispace's Luxembourg subsidiary, alongside external instruments from Japanese companies and a Taiwanese university. While a commercial success would have aligned Japan with U.S. companies like Intuitive Machines and Firefly Aerospace, both of whom achieved moon landings this year, ispace now faces a multi-year pause. Japan's national space agency, JAXA, did land its SLIM lander in 2023, making Japan the fifth country to manage a soft lunar landing. Despite the setback, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said, "Expectations for ispace have not faded." The company plans to continue its efforts, with a third mission slated for 2027 through its U.S. unit under NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services. Ispace aims to complete six more missions across Japan and the U.S. by 2029.
