Mountain View, California - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - March 20, 2008 - Search engine e-commerce firm, TheFind, has chosen local shopping search information solution, Krillion, to support real-time, local product-availability functionality for the product categories covered in its extensive index of retailers.

TheFind.com is a leading shopping search engine that quickly discovers millions of lifestyle goods — across the fashion, home, beauty, electronics, sports and outdoor categories — from more than 500,000 online retailers.

Joel Toledano, Co-founder and CEO of Krillion commented, ”For a variety of reasons and especially in a number of key product categories, consumers prefer to search online for desired items and subsequently pick those items up in person at a nearby store. The trend toward researching online and purchasing offline has accelerated in recent months with the introduction by retailers of more in-store convenience services. Shopping search engines such as TheFind.com are perfectly suited to provide Krillion’s local product search service to consumers. TheFind leads its category by already making online and local shopping easy and visually compelling, and we’re delighted that they’ve chosen Krillion to further enhance that experience for their ready-to-buy consumers with real-time, local product availability information.”

Last December, TheFind.com launched an intuitive local search option, making it easy for shoppers to find which stores in their local neighborhoods carry the products they are looking to buy. This enhancement enabled consumers to search for specific products on TheFind.com and then quickly determine locations and phone numbers of the nearby retailers that carry those products. Now, with the integration of Krillion, TheFind shoppers will also be able to check and confirm up-to-the-minute local availability from some of the leading national retailers, especially across the and offline shopping needs.

Siva Kumar, CEO of TheFind Inc. remarked, ”We’re determined to continually deliver even more ease, access and information to our shoppers. Remaining dedicated to that ideal means that we are constantly looking for ways to enrich the shopping experience with services that our customers desire. Through this relationship with Krillion we are able to offer local product availability information from leading national retailers, and can do so with increased accuracy — making the jump from online search to local purchase the most convenient it has ever been for consumers.”

The evolving business and marketing strategies of top e-tailers support the fact that consumers enjoy the ease of online search to locate, research and price their products, and subsequently pick up their desired merchandise at local outlets. Krillion has the most experience connecting online shoppers with their local retailers, as the company has created the world’s largest database of retailers and products, and through its StockCheck technology provides search engine providers and other web publishers real-time product availability information on thousands of products across stores nationwide.
