GAINSystems

We're a team building AI-powered search and product discovery solutions designed specifically for ecommerce. Our platform uses machine learning, natural language processing, and transformers to help shoppers find what they're looking for - while helping our customers improve metrics that actually matter, like revenue, conversion rate, and profit. What makes us different is that we've built our entire search engine from the ground up specifically for commerce, not repurposed generic search technology. We power over 1 billion queries every day across 150 languages for some of the biggest retailers in the world, including Sephora, Petco, Under Armour, and Birkenstock. Our engineering team works on the bleeding edge of AI to deliver results, and we've never lost an A/B test to a competitive technology. We're passionate about transparency (we call it 'glass box' insight), continuous improvement, and empowering everyone to do their best work.

In 2015, OptiSigns emerged from a straightforward observation: digital signage was too complex, too expensive, and too technical for the businesses that needed it most. Small retailers, restaurants, and corporate offices struggled with clunky interfaces and proprietary hardware that required IT teams to manage. The founders saw an opportunity to democratize digital signage - to build something that anyone could set up in minutes, not hours, and that could transform any ordinary screen into a powerful communication tool. Today, OptiSigns powers over 30,000 customers across 120 countries with a cloud-based platform that balances sophistication with simplicity. Headquartered in Houston with a growing engineering presence in Vietnam, the company has expanded from transforming TVs and tablets into dynamic displays to offering interactive kiosks, AI-powered audience analytics, and enterprise-grade platform services. What started as a mission to make digital signage accessible has evolved into a broader vision: helping organizations of all sizes communicate more effectively with their audiences, whether that means boosting retail sales, engaging employees in corporate offices, or enhancing experiences in healthcare facilities. The platform now supports 190,000+ active screens globally, proving that when you remove technical barriers, businesses will find creative ways to connect.
