True Fit, the global leader in fit personalization, delivers proven fit software to retailers selling footwear & apparel online, allowing retailers to personalize their catalog to each consumer’s personal fit and style preference. This breakthrough unlocks enormous opportunity for retailers, which has been saddled with low online footwear & apparel sales penetration (~ 8%) and high returns therein (~40%-60%), due to unsure fit. True Fit solved the problem with proprietary machine learning software that virtually tries on each product and shows each consumer how that item will fit them and what size to get. We are generating revenue from the top online apparel retailers in the world, and have wide industry participation from over 300 brand partners.
