uBid.com Holdings, Inc. and SmartShopper.com have launched uBidShopper, a new, downloadable, comparison shopping software service designed for uBid.com customers.

On uBidShopper, which is free to use, a release stated: “When users search for products or travel deals online, the uBidShopper tool conveniently appears in a separate browser pane with a list of relevant offers from uBid.com's related product categories.

Today, companies need more intuitive tools to allow them to stay connected to customers longer and offer real user benefits as well,” said Ziv Eliraz, vice president - strategic alliances, SmartShopper.com.
