Overview

In today’s e-tailer environment, e-commerce space is becoming increasingly competitive. With e-tailers having to constantly find new ways to improve revenue and attract consumers, many of whom shop through a handheld device. 

As the cost of acquiring new customers continues to increase, e-tailers know that encouraging those customers to remain loyal shoppers to their business is crucial to earnings. A proven strategy in maximizing the loyalty from existing customers is through upsell/cross-sell strategies. These strategies include targeted advertising and the display of relevant products and event-triggered emails through information mining of social networks, which helps deliver a personalized shopping experience and improve sales.

The Recommendation Engine is the solution for implementing upsell/cross-sell strategies. With the ever-growing product catalog on e-commerce websites, it becomes increasingly important for companies to display relevant products according to customer preferences and tastes, and provide innovative methods of intelligently searching for desired products.

iFusion Analytics as Recommender System Solution

Many different approaches have been applied to the basic problem of making accurate and efficient recommender systems- from fairly simple database queries, nearest neighbor algorithms to Bayesian analysis. As e-commerce providers are not analytics/recommendation experts, they continue to use basic filtering algorithms.

To effectively manage these e-tailer requirements, our Analytics Solution for e-commerce employs the Hybrid Recommendation Engine (HRE). Equipped with the highest AUC, the HRE empowers e-tailers to achieve an efficient and cost-effective means of delivering a personalized shopping experience to its customers. Insights are derived from customer preferences, social information and shopping history.
