Precision Personalization for Retail

The transition of retail from a predominantly brick-and-mortar to a brick-and-click business has left retailers with siloed channels and sizeable investments in technologies without measurable uplift.

FICO® Decision Management Platform Streaming is a platform that allows retailers to easily operationalize personalization that is data-agnostic and AI/ML-enabled to determine the next best action in a customer journey.

Oracle Cloud Running FICO® Decision Management Platform Streaming from the Oracle Cloud allows retailers to integrate their personalization efforts with customer data in warehouses, point-of-sale, supply chain, and merchandising systems as well as in systems of engagement. Oracle is an established cloud-based retail solution provider, serving numerous companies around the globe. Oracle cloud services combine performance, reliability, security, cost cost savings, and seamless interoperability to help retailers shift focus from maintaining custom personalization systems that may be disconnected to designing connected omni-channel journeys of the future.

Retailers struggle to meet the needs of the “always-on” customerOffering customers convenience, choice, and omni-channel capabilities is no longer just a nice-to-have for retailers to survive in the digital era. To adapt to the “anytime, anywhere” habits of shoppers, retailers have adopted individual custom applications — sometimes hundreds of them across a single enterprise — making it impossible to manage and expand personalization while delivering a unified experience to the consumer.

Operationalizing personalization needs more than dataWhile personalization has been a priority for many brands, execution has been missing the relevance that is based on the behavior of their customers. Capturing data from these behaviors has resulted in a variety of data infrastructure — big data technologies, data lakes, and data streaming infrastructures. Yet, operationalizing all this data to provide a seamless, connected experience that increases engagement with the brand remains elusive, or to the extent it is executed upon, the costs are significantly beyond what can be sustained.

Realizing the benefits of personalizationPersonalization is not a one-and-done effort — it is a dynamic process that must evolve in response to both the behaviors of customers and the goals of the brand. At the end of the day, data is only one of the enablers of personalization experiences. Data is simply raw material that must be operationalized and turned into compelling experiences for retailers to reap the benefits they have envisioned. Contextualizing both real-time and historical behaviors and using AI/ML to improve relevance are key to the success of personalization. And above all, it is essential to adopt a platform approach to building, adapting, and evolving customer experiences to meet the needs of the customer anytime and anywhere in their journey with the brand.

A tiered approach Retailers can easily deploy personalization solutions across the customer journey within a single platform to deliver enduring relationships. Retailers are now in the driver’s seat to build, adapt, and evolve the solution to fit the needs of their brand and their consumers. Deployment is simplified and accelerated via a three-tier solution to meet retailers where they are and deliver impact quickly, without months or years of implementation delay. Retailers can begin in one tier and advance to the next as their needs evolve and opportunities emerge.

European Retailer

Challenge: Create a platform that leverages all customer interaction data and external sources to deliver real-time, personal offers in-store that recognize and reward each customer’s loyalty.

Solution: FICO® Decision Management Platform Streaming and FICO® Xpress Optimization

Results: The retailer proved in three weeks that its vision for the real-time offers platform was achievable at the massive scale and low latency it requires.

Even with a sophisticated marketing approach leveraging big data and analytics, this retailer was losing customers and profits to new entrants in the market. The retailer decided to focus on personalization, delivering highly relevant real-time offers to its customer base in order to drive loyalty. Using FICO Decision Management Platform Streaming, the retailer was able to build a precise personalization platform that consumed data from real-time interactions as well as historical behaviors, and apply predictive as well as prescriptive analytics to determine the optimal action for that customer. The retailer is now able to make the most relevant action at the moment it will be most appreciated and accepted. With data that tells the whole story, along with advanced analytics, the retailer can derive customer insight in real time and anticipate future consumer behavior on a massive scale.
