What it is

ACE eCommerce is an AI-powered app on the Brainsuite platform that lets you evaluate and optimize your product's packaging for online performance. It allows you to test your packaging in different digital shopping environments to understand how effectively your product grabs attention, communicates its key attributes, and stands out against competitors. With clear feedback on visibility, comprehension, and design impact.

Why Use It

Make your packaging work harder in digital spaces:

Gain Visibility: Ensure your product stands out on crowded digital shelves
Clear Message: Confirm your packaging communicates the essentials at a glance
Effective = ROI: Launch with designs proven to drive shopper engagement and conversion

Optimize every element

ACE eCommerce helps answer critical questions before launch, including:

  • Is my product pack visible enough on a digital shelf?

  • Are the 4Ws—Who, What, Which, and HoW much communicated clearly?

  • Do shoppers process the visuals and text quickly and easily?

  • How does my packaging perform against key competitors?

The app allows you to test and refine each visual component (imagery, claims, layout, and more) so your product breaks through in any eCommerce setting.
