Mr. SB Chan, CTO, said, "Malaysia and Singapore have no shopping search engines, so by releasing ShopParadiso.com, we plan to improve the shopping experience of Internet users and provide cost effective marketing solutions to merchants"
With ShopParadiso, shoppers from Malaysia and Singapore can search and compare prices for thousands of products listed impartially and in an easy-to-use display and, also purchase products directly from scores of listed merchants.
In the past couple of years, more and more retailers from Singapore and Malaysia have adapted to the Internet. Shoppers too are turning to the Internet for gathering information such as what to buy, what price to buy and where to buy. This trend is likely to increase as shoppers continue to get comfortable with Internet shopping. So to improve the shopping experience and to bridge both shoppers and e-tailers, ShopParadiso, the first and most comprehensive price comparison shopping search engine for this region (Singapore and Malaysia), is being released.
“With the release of ShopParadiso, Shoppers need not (a) maintain a list of various e-commerce sites (b) visit multiple sites for their purchases and (c) worry on missing good bargain deals as shoppers only need to remember ShopParadiso because all the above are taken care by ShopParadiso itself as we make sure to collect product and price information from both well-known and not-so-well known sites. This ensures shoppers save both time and money because more products in one site means less time spent on finding the lowest priced.” said Mr.`Subaru` Barry, CTO, ShopParadiso while elaborating on making Internet shopping a pleasant experience.
ShopParadiso’s targeted search makes sure that the collected information are only from sites, targeting Malaysia and Singapore shoppers, with an integrated shopping cart and its easy-to-use display makes sure that the information displayed is relevant to the users search query as compared to the result returned by a general search engine. For e.g. a query for Apple iPod in a general search engine normally return results containing sites catering to New Zealand, Nigeria etc and the result will also include products other than iPod itself e.g. accessories for Apple iPod. But the same search in ShopParadiso will return only results from Malaysia and Singapore shopping sites that too products related to Apple iPod only.
On the differences between western shopping search engines and ShopParadiso, Mr."Subaru" Barry said “Shopping search engine sites catering to Europe, USA and the Pacific list products only from merchants subscribing to their site i.e. data feeds are provided by the merchants directly to these sites. Normally data feeds provided by the merchants do not cover 100% of their inventory. But ShopParadiso collects products using proprietary search technology which spiders the Malaysia and Singapore shopping sites for required information. This makes sure all the products listed in the shopping sites are also displayed in ShopParadiso.”
Though retailers have been adapting to the Internet, but it still remains an uphill task for these sites to reach their target audiences, as the marketing costs are prohibitively high. This is another important issue that ShopParadiso addresses. By getting covered in ShopParadiso, retailers need not incur huge marketing cost to register presence with the shopping community and also stand to gain prominent display in the site as compared to appearing in the 50th or 100th page in Google.
ShopParadiso collects and displays only information related to products such as product name, product price etc and it neither indulges in any copyright violation nor sells the listed products directly or indirectly. As stated the backbone of ShopParadiso is a web-spider built on proprietary search technology that visits merchant sites to collect product information regularly and the same is provided in an easy-to-use display along with a link to the particular merchant web page that sells the product. After clicking the link, the shopper will be taken to the respective merchant site and can buy the product directly from the displayed merchant web page. With this proprietary technology, ShopParadiso makes sure the content provided is current and available 24/7 to Malaysian and Singapore shoppers.
