Walmart's Hayneedle debuts app with visual search

Online home furnishings and decor retailer Hayneedle has launched its first iOS mobile app, which includes visual search capability enabled by Slyce. Ultimately, visual search is a capability retailers will need in order to compete in an increasingly omnichannel universe, where shopping occurs not only in-store, online and in-app, but also wherever a consumer carries a smartphone and happens to see a product they want.
