(NASDAQ: BLIN), a leader in AI-powered product discovery and eCommerce solutions, today announced the successful launch of the first two of five contracted HawkSearch deployments for a leading home and garden supplier across its portfolio of B2B and direct-to-consumer eCommerce sites.

This initial go-live represents a multi-site enterprise win, with two sites now live and three additional deployments scheduled. The phased rollout underscores growing enterprise demand for HawkSearch as companies standardize AI-driven product discovery across channels.
