Bloomreach is an AI-driven commerce experience platform that powers personalization, search, and experimentation for enterprise retailers. When combined with Publitas, it brings that intelligence inside the catalog itself – so every shopper sees a tailored experience based on their real-time behavior.
This isn’t just a recommendation widget. It’s a fully connected personalization loop between your catalog and your commerce stack.
How the integration works
Automated product feed sync Publitas ingests live product feeds and auto-tags SKUs inside catalog layouts via API. Bloomreach uses the same feed for recommendation modeling and catalog alignment so that product data stays consistent across both platforms.
Embedded recommendation widgets Using the Publitas Viewer JavaScript API, Bloomreach recommendation carousels and dynamic product overlays are embedded directly inside catalog hotspots or inline components. Shoppers see relevant suggestions without leaving the catalog.
Behavioral event capture Every interaction — page views, hotspot clicks, add-to-cart — is captured through the Publitas Viewer JS and forwarded into Bloomreach’s Event Tracking API. This feeds user-level behavioral modeling and powers downstream targeting across channels.
Web layer personalization and A/B testing Bloomreach injects configurable overlays, banners, and carousels into catalog views using Web Layers. Run experiments to optimize layout, messaging, offers, and product promotions — directly inside the catalog experience.
Full lifecycle publishing Publitas REST API v2 supports automated creation, scheduling, and publishing of catalog issues. Bloomreach triggers feed-based ingestion and model retraining synchronously, keeping recommendations fresh as inventory changes.
Key use cases

Personalized product discovery Surface the right products to the right shopper based on real-time browse behavior, purchase history, and segmentation — directly inside the catalog page.
Cross-channel audience activation Behavioral data captured inside the catalog feeds back into Bloomreach Engagement, enriching customer profiles and powering next-best-action campaigns across email, web, and paid channels.
For brand partners
