History
Scarab Research was founded in 2009 by a group of European scientists and IT engineers. Its development operations were based in Budapest, Hungary.[4]
Before its acquisition, Scarab Research was one of the first Central European companies to develop a scalable, real-time product recommendation engine using machine learning. The company's technology was implemented by various online retailers across Europe, and contributed significantly to the early adoption of personalization in e-commerce in the region.[5]
In December 2013, Scarab Research was acquired by Emarsys (an SAP company[6]).[7]
Scarab Cloud
