What trbo does

trbo is a Munich-headquartered B2B SaaS provider of AI-driven website personalization, search, and guided-selling solutions for enterprise and mid-market e-commerce. The company was founded in 2013 and operates dual legal entities: trbo GmbH in Munich and trbo Inc. in Miami, covering European and North American markets. Its platform is modular, centered on a core trbo Personalize engine and complemented by trbo Search (vector-based onsite search), trbo Advise (AI-guided selling), trbo Chat (NLP chatbot), trbo Bundle (shop-the-look), and the recently launched trbo Agent (agentic shopping assistant). Underlying technology includes a proprietary vector relevance calculation, a self-learning recommendation engine that feeds click and purchase data back into algorithm weights, a hybrid LLMs + Large Intent Models (LIMs) architecture for semantic audience segmentation, and a sub-50ms search response time.

The platform captures 50+ on-site user behavior data points per visitor and serves 300+ customers worldwide, with named enterprise customers including L'Oréal, Porsche Design, Telekom, T-online, Ecco, Eddie Bauer, Weight Watchers, Rose Bikes, and Sanicare. Trbo monetizes via enterprise SaaS subscriptions on a quote-based annual billing model, with go-to-market through direct enterprise field sales and a self-service onboarding layer supported by personalization consultants and a 3-day implementation promise. Distribution is reinforced by 50+ technology partner integrations spanning Shopify, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, BigCommerce, Shopware, commercetools, Spryker, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Braze, and Contentsquare, among others. The company is privately held, has not disclosed post-2013 institutional funding rounds, and executed one disclosed acquisition (Chatchamp, February 2023) to extend its guided-selling capabilities. Trbo is GDPR-compliant with EU-only data processing infrastructure.
