Overview of Our AI Model for eCommerce Case Study

A mid-sized eCommerce retailer wanted to better understand their customers to improve marketing effectiveness and increase sales. They had a large amount of customer data – purchase histories, browsing behavior, and product preferences. But still they struggled to translate this data into actionable insights.

We developed a custom AI model that segmented customers based on their behaviors and predicted their purchasing preferences. This allowed the retailer to deliver personalized product recommendations and tailor marketing campaigns for each customer group. Our solution is making the shopping experience more relevant and engaging.

Our Process of Building a Scalable AI Model for Customer Segmentation

Our AI model development followed a structured process so it can be accurate and relevant to business:

Data Aggregation and Cleaning

Collected diverse customer data from purchase records, web behavior, and customer profiles. Cleaned and normalized data to ensure quality and consistency.

Feature Engineering

Created meaningful features like purchase frequency, average spend, product categories browsed, and responsiveness to past campaigns to capture customer preferences.

Unsupervised Learning for Segmentation

Applied clustering algorithms such as K-Means to uncover natural customer groups, iteratively refining based on business insights.

Model Deployment and Integration

Deployed the AI model as a scalable service integrated with the client’s CRM for real-time customer scoring and campaign automation.

The Problem – Static Segmentation Limiting Marketing Effectiveness

The client’s marketing team relied mostly on manual segmentation and simple rules like age groups or location. These methods ignored complex patterns in customer behavior. This resulted in generic emails and promotions that customers often ignored. The business suffered from low open rates, click-throughs, and conversion rates. They needed a scalable AI solution to automatically identify meaningful customer groups and predict their future buying behavior.

Our Role – From AI Model Development to Integration

Processed multi-source customer data

Built clustering and prediction models

Ran A/B tests for model validation

Integrated outputs into CRM and marketing tools

Project Challenges – Complex Data and Adoption

Data Complexity

The client’s data lived in silos. Merging and cleaning this messy data was a major challenge. We had to establish a common schema and clean noisy behavior logs to ensure the AI model had reliable inputs.

Marketing Team Adoption

Initially, marketers struggled to interpret segments and prediction scores. To fix this, we created simplified visual dashboards and worked closely with their team to translate insights into campaign actions

Results – Driving Smarter Marketing and Better Business Outcomes

Our ecommerce AI model significantly improved marketing performance and revenue, with measurable impacts:

+40% Increase in Email Engagement

Emails sent using AI-based segments got more attention. More people opened and clicked because the content matched what they were actually interested in.

+28% Increase in Sales

By showing the right products to the right people, the client saw a big jump in purchases. Customers found what they needed faster, which led to more sales.

Dynamic Segmentation at Scale

The AI model kept customer segments fresh by updating them automatically. This made sure marketing stayed relevant without the team needing to do it manually.
