Light Speed Indexing (LSI) is Second Phase’s alternative to the costly dynamic attribute and intelligent search solutions used by major Ecommerce players (like Grainger, Best Buy, Sears, Faucets Direct, and hundreds more…). As you will see in the following example the goal is to quickly get your customer to the product they want in the fewest number of clicks possible and to give access to unlimited product attributes from a wide range of data sources (ERP, data services, manufacturer data, …) in milliseconds.
LSI accomplishes that goal at a price point that has never been seen before. It works by displaying drill down attributes in the left column that change dynamically depending on what product category you are searching and shows you the number of results per attribute choice so you can easily see the number of results you’ll get with that selection. It allows for a key word search even if there is a misspelling, grammatical error, or a synonym and it does it all at an amazing speed using the latest data access technology.

Here are actual screen shots of LSI helping someone find the auto tire they are looking for.

Search was refined by selecting the “Brand” of “COOPER”
Notice the matching number displayed next to each attribute
Further refined by selecting a “Max PSI Single” of “65”, notice that this PSI attribute appeared after the Brand selection.
LSI let the customer go from 370 products to 6 products in 2 clicks, that is the power of dynamic attributes. Studies show every click has a % of customers drop their search and we all know what it is like to sort through 20, 30, even 100+ products trying to find the one that meets your needs, nobody has the patience for that anymore. The bottom-line is the client quickly finds what they are looking for and you get the sale. Because of this, the large eCommerce companies have spent 100′s of thousands of dollars on like solutions, Contact Us to learn more about the power and cost of LSI (including our SAAS pricing option) or to schedule a live demo.
