The proprietary Visual Search technology dynamically organizes cross-catalog supplier search results into a real-time, interactive visual heat map and helps corporate shoppers quickly and efficiently find items they are seeking. The heat map analyzes and displays multiple areas of user interest to enhance search relevance. With just a mouse click or two on the color-coded category segments within the heat map, shoppers can drill down to quickly zero in on the exact product they are seeking. ... "
