This data is also leveraged for insights that eCommerce teams can use to make important business decisions. including key decisions about merchandise, inventory, campaigns, offers, and more.

The highest eCommerce growth in decades

The combination of AI, deep learning and machine learning technologies allow brands to take advantage of the massive eCommerce growth. According to analysts, growth was accelerated in 2020, due to the global pandemic. Online sales were up 44% year-over-year, the highest eCommerce growth in nearly two decades, according to DigitalCommerce360.

However, Qubit’s CEO and founder, Graham Cooke, warns that acceleration doesn’t equate to more revenues. Especially as online retail grows more competitive. “Ecommerce growth exceeded all expectations last year, with no sign of slowing. However, customers are still frustrated with the online shopping experience because they either can’t easily find what they’re looking for. Or the products being recommended are not individually targeted to the shopper.

“Brands can remedy this by using modern technologies like deep learning to better understand customer behaviour. Retailers need to create tailored shopping experiences, ones that connect the visitor directly with the products they’re most interested in. Deep learning-driven product recommendations drives 1:1 personalised shopping experiences. It also allows brands to derive more value and revenues from their entire product catalogues.

Every brand will have specific needs. Qubit suggests brands can select modules that will improve customer engagement and eCommerce performance.

Enterprise Times: What this means for business?

Artificial Intelligence (AI), deep learning and machine learning technologies have so much potential for brands, online merchants and retailers. There is an opportunity for retailers to get to the holy grail and unlock the potential of data. Understanding the customer experience requires utilising data, analysing customer behaviour to enable retailers to harness new revenue streams. These revenue streams include cross-selling, upselling and product recommendations. There are still far too many retailers, failing to embrace emerging technologies and therefore poorly implementing such online services. Hopefully, Qubit’s new solution will provide the insight that customers desperately require. All key ingredients to ensure that the eCommerce boom continues.
