Strands Recommender is an SaaS plug-and-play recommendation engine that can be installed by eCommerce and content websites. The company is an independent business unit of Strands, Inc, founded in early 2004.[1]

Strands Recommender is based in San Francisco, United States, and in Madrid, Spain.

The service can either be implemented through the site’s API or with a widget plug-in.[2] Strands Recommender also offers shopping cart plug-ins for Demandware, Miva Merchant, and Magento stores.[3][4]

History

The recommendation engine on which Strands Recommender is based resulted from the idea of Francisco Martin, founder of Strands, Inc, to improve the recommendations available in iTunes by not only taking playcounts into account but people's behavior and their evolving tastes.[5][6]
