Event Summary

Bridgeline Digital, a leader in AI-powered marketing technology, announced a record second quarter for new logo sales in its fiscal year 2026. This achievement is largely attributed to an United States — Ohio-based wholesaler, serving the plumbing, HVAC, and electrical trades, selecting Bridgeline Digital's HawkSearch platform. The wholesaler, managing over 50,000 products, chose HawkSearch to enhance customer navigation and product discovery on its Magento eCommerce platform, replacing a less effective keyword-dependent solution. Ari Kahn, President and CEO of Bridgeline Digital, highlighted the company's momentum in the wholesale distribution sector, attributing the growth to the successful deployment of capital raised in 2025. John Murcott, SVP of Product, emphasized HawkSearch's B2B-specific capabilities, such as Unit of Measure normalization and personalization, as key drivers for strong demand from wholesalers.
