Introduction
Staples Canada (Staples.ca) is the Canadian subsidiary of Staples Inc. whose corporate
mission is to "inspire people to work smarter, learn more and grow every day." In charge of
the team responsible for Staples.ca and Staplespreferred.ca (a closed-login
business-to-business site) are Jeff Serota, Senior Director of Product Management and
Diptendu Ray, Principal Product Manager.
After becoming an Algolia customer in 2018, the Staples CA team expanded their
engagement with the adoption of advanced search functionality to continue improving
the online experience for their more than 200,000 stock-keeping units (SKUs). This
additional functionality was put to the test with the appearance of Covid-19 in early 2020.
