Wishabi Version 5 Launched

Posted by: Wehuns Tan in: ● April 14, 2010

When we launched Wishabi just over a year ago, we had a vision of providing Canadians with the ultimate shopping site. We wanted an insightful personalized experience that makes shopping as easy as making a wishlist and having offers delivered to you. Today, I’m proud to announce a new version of Wishabi to take us closer to that vision.

This new version of Wishabi is our 5th design iteration. It represents the culmination of over two years of hard work by our team. We’ve launched several features to help make it easier for us as Canadians to shop and research online:

  • Deal Intelligence – We’ve updated our site to provide even deeper consumer insight so you know when to buy and when to hold. We’ve made significant changes to our data systems that analyze over 3 million items from 450 merchant partners across USA and Canada to help you make an more informed purchase decision. Check out the new Deal Genius commentary and value maps as you compare and shop for your favorite products.
  • Sale Finders – This had been on our wishlist for quite a while, and we’ve finally launched the first version of our Sale Finders. Sale finders help you quickly filter and sort through thousands of items from your favorite brands, stores and categories to see what’s on sale and what you might want to buy.
  • Personalized Shopping – Version 5 brings us a much more refined personalized shopping experience. Build a shopping profile of the things that matters to you and the shopping stream will do the rest to give you the best deals and recommendations, all analyzed through the Wishabi deal genius technology.

These features represent the tip of the iceburg as to what we have planned for Wishabi and for Canadian online shopping. You’ll be seeing more exciting features and announcements in the upcoming months as we continue our quest to provide the best online shopping experience for Canadians.

Thanks again for your support and for using Wishabi!

Neat site. I wish I can filter by more properties though, for example, when I am looking for an TV, I only want to browse for 120Hz LCD units over 37″, it isn’t an “Awesome deal” for me if it is an old Vizio 60Hz unit. I hope they’ll do it at some point. And where is this “sale finder” stuff?

Good job boys,

the layout is less cluttered and easier to use. The commentary is also quite helpful.

I wish you could look at enlarged pictures available from the merchant instead of clicking through them individually. This may not be “business” friendly but definitely user friendly.

I know what you mean about different builds (I am a developer).

Congratulations. It looks great.
