Recommendations

Recommendation allow users to present unique AI-powered item recommendations through several channels in order to promote items and encourage customers to make a purchase.

We use the AI engine to acquire information from your website and analyze large portions of data such which is mainly customers’ activity (visits to a website, purchases, historical data, and information included in the product feed). This way the Synerise application can produce relevant recommendations that match preferences of customers and circumstances of displaying the recommendation frame.

In Synerise, a user can show recommendations within the following channels:

Business applications


  1. Monetize customers’ data and interactions to personalize experience across multiple touchpoints in different communication channels including web, mobile application, email, and many others.

  2. Boost conversion at any step of customer journey from home page, category or item page, to cart, to post-purchase activities.

  3. Generate top quality real-time recommendations for both recognized, unrecognized, and first-time customers based on various types of interaction.

  4. Configure, launch, and deploy models to run and monitor performance of recommendation with only a few clicks with a simple user interface.

  5. Tailor recommendation results to your business needs with recommendation configuration settings, including A/B testing, advanced filtering, boosting, and sorting options.

  6. Benefit from state-of-the-art machine learning models powered by Synerise proprietary AI engine - Cleora. No need to manually process data ingestion and cleansing processes, models parameters tuning or retraining as framework does it for you.

Requirements


Important:

To access the Recommendations module and manage recommendations campaign, you must have the following permissions:

  • Permissions from the Communications > Recommendations set (at least Read to see the campaigns).
  • All permissions from the Assets > Catalogs set.
Note: The minimum requirements are approximate and allow model training. Meeting the minimum requirements does not ensure optimal operation. The quality of AI models increases with input data volume.
