With Recognize.im, e-commerce businesses gain access to powerful mobile image recognition to leverage the growing trend of virtual stores and mobile-based purchases.

The introduction of Recognize.im marks the latest expansion by iTraff Technology to mobilize the image recognition space, and help businesses to effectively engage with their customers on-the-go.

Users create an account and upload photos of the object or image they want to identify.
