Bold Metrics simplifies fit for apparel brands and shoppers

Bold Metrics' Smart Size Chart redesign draws on extensive user feedback to create a customer-centric sizing experience for shoppers to find their best fit.

Creating an excellent experience for our clients and their customers has always been a priority at Bold Metrics. After months of user testing, our product team’s redesigned Smart Size Chart (SSC) interface puts shoppers firmly at the center of the experience. 

The new Smart Size Chart experience drew on US-based and international shopper feedback. Tests conducted across all age groups and eCommerce experience levels ensured that even inexperienced online shoppers could find their best fit intuitively. Word, image, and formatting choices were all tested in-depth to determine the best possible customer experience, combining ease of use with accuracy and speed. Testing was carried out on existing client sites and via a generic user flow to actualize accurate results and determine preferred user experiences.

“User testing has been crucial to helping us understand how shoppers interact with our tools, taking assumptions out of the equation — every decision was tested and validated so all aspects of the tool work as intended.”

Morgan Marzo, Product Designer, Bold Metrics

Personalize retail while driving down returns

The goal was also to build confidence and trust with customers interacting with the Smart Size Chart solution by elevating the customer experience around fit and sizing and providing fast and accurate results aligned with or exceeding customer expectations. By listening to and integrating shoppers’ feedback as an integral part of the redesign process, Bold Metrics has created a helpful and intuitive online shopping experience to elevate the fit experience at brands like Canada Goose, Men’s Wearhouse, and UpWest. 

“Bold Metrics is the only AI Body Modeling company focusing on helping brands use body data to drive conversion while reducing returns and keeping them down. We are the first sizing solution to directly address fit preference, providing shoppers tangible guidance on how a given style will fit across points of measure critical to that garment”

Daina Burnes, CEO and co-founder, Bold Metrics
