Prodport made their public launch in the U.S. and Germany today. The tool dynamically matches product content with customer intelligence to personalize product detail pages and increase conversion rates. It is delivered via an intuitive solution that enables collaboration between product and marketing teams for B2B and B2C product catalogs.

“Our founding team comes from digital marketing, product experience, and ecommerce storefront backgrounds,” said Ohad Hecht, Co-Founder and CEO of Prodport. “From those experiences, we collectively realized a critical breakpoint in customer experience:  the product detail page.  Significant money and efforts are invested to drive personalized traffic to product detail pages via display ads, product recommendations, SEO, banners, email marketing, etc.  However, the product detail page – only one click from checkout – remains static and ignorant of who the visitor is.  We believe this is a huge missed opportunity for product and marketing teams across industries that we founded Prodport to address.”
