The personalization challenge in luxury retail
In the luxury clothing retail world, personalization of experience and customer journey are key to engaging customers and providing a personalized retail experience. Directly involving the client in guiding their shopping experience can immediately translate into improved customer care, enhanced brand value, and increased profits due to additional sales.
Our solution: using an AI recommendation system
Using an AI recommendation system, BIP xTech developed a solution designed to suggest outfits and complementary items, seamlessly integrating into the processes of the look-styling departments and client advisors. Powered by Microsoft Azure technologies, the system was able to scale and support personalization in a way that was both intuitive and practical.
The scope of the solution centered around creating a consistent method for generating new outfit suggestions for customers. This system fed both direct marketing and digital communications, as well as in-store suggestions. Human expertise played a critical role in the system's development, and the tool was designed to augment the employee's ability to offer personalized recommendations.
Creating the AI Outfit Suggester
This AI-based applications leverage existing collections to suggests outfit combinations, to be then used to guide in-store shopping and online communications to follow possible clientele interests. The tool also allows high flexibility in changing and suggesting new items, providing to the in-store employees the possibility to enhance customers experience.
Results achieved: AI applications in the customer-advising experience
