Client

The client is a large retailer in the U.S., whose main goal is to create a dynamic retail enterprise that meets customers’ unique needs. The company’s way to gain profits revolves around sending its customers catalogs with clothing brands to the doorstep. No physical shop is present. On viewing the catalogs, customers can order a variety of clothes by mail and phone. For this reason, the target audience of the company is mostly elderly buyers, the average age of whom is 70 years old.

Business needs

When the pandemic started, the idea of selling clothes without physical interaction with clients was considered very profitable and timely. But the business problem of the retail company was that the customer age had to be lowered to ensure the sales would not drop significantly. Thus, the company needed to expand purchases and offer value to younger audiences. As the client didn’t understand what kind of audience they had and what he had to do to attract new buyers, his main goal was to receive an extensive data science consultancy.

inoxoft Solution

Inoxoft has supported the client’s intentions and offered him a hand of help by delivering an ML model to perform categorization. Every word was given an IAB category in the model that could analyze websites and predict consumers’ preferences further. The model was developed as a multilingual classifier giving the possibility to keyword websites written in any other language.

  • IAB categorization.
  • Custom Python Scraping Backend.
  • Custom Tensorflow training and model deployment.
