  • Automated email management in digital business processes ("Marketing Cloud")
  • Product data enrichment with automatically generated metadata
  • Search and navigation optimization
  • Product identification through customer-uploaded product photos
  • Risk assessment / fraud detection
  • Sales forecasting ("Predictive Analytics")

5 Steps to Your Own AI Solution

AI can fundamentally be used throughout the entire customer journey. But which applications are truly meaningful, and which provide real value for you and your customers?
As a full-service eCommerce provider, we help you identify, implement, and effectively utilize AI solutions in five steps. Together, we work to establish long-term competitive advantages for your business. Here's our approach:

  1. Customer Journey Mapping: Before implementing AI, we recommend mapping the customer journey to identify key touchpoints, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement where AI solutions can assist. A visual representation of the customer journey makes it clear where the use of AI will be most effective.

  2. Data Assessment: Clean and accurate data is the foundation for AI-driven insights. The first step is to evaluate your available data sources and their quality. We help you identify and address gaps in data collection.

  3. Identifying Use Cases: We analyze which use cases promise the greatest value from AI, given all available information—such as personalized recommendations, dynamic content optimization, or automated customer service. Together with you, we then prioritize these use cases.

4. Clear Goal Setting: We define the objectives to be achieved through the use of AI within the customer journey—whether it's improved customer retention, increased revenue, higher conversion rates, or enhanced customer satisfaction. Ideally, these goals are tied to specific metrics (target revenue, percentage increases, etc.).

5. Selecting Suitable AI Solutions: For the previously defined use cases, we identify the most suitable AI tools for you. Whether it's machine learning algorithms, natural language processing, or predictive analytics, the selected tools should meet the specific requirements to achieve the defined objectives. This is where the expertise and experience of our consultants and development team play a key role.
