Cloud Technology
Delivering a cloud solution that is precisely customized to your needs, in a way that is innovative, flexible and highly efficient
There are three main advantages to utilizing cloud technology
As one of the earliest adopters of Cloud technology, our team has been able to create a highly resilient Cloud Platform which is built to process and deliver billions of transactions a month with response times measured in milliseconds.

Best-in-class Cloud Architecture
Fredhopper Access Server (FAS) is deployed and delivered in the cloud. The exact cloud configuration, including a designated cloud region and number of live and test environments, depends on customer requirements, contractual agreement, and decisions made during the integration process.
Every Fredhopper Discovery Platform deployment consists of three components
Smart Data Pipeline
The Smart Data Engine, provides our customers with an ability to combine, centralize and enrich multiple separate streams of raw data input, in real-time. This delivers truly actionable insights for automatic application or for informing improved decision-making.
Query Service
Handles all communication between your store and FAS. When a shopper explores your store, the store sends a request to the Query Service. This processes the request and returns results which your store then renders to the shopper’s device.
Merchandising Studio
Provides a user interface for merchandisers to create and apply business rules and configuration changes. These configuration changes influence the navigation and search results returned by the Query Service.
