Here is a quick look at some of the AI facts<\/h5>\n
\u2022 ABI Research<\/a> says that more than 4 million commercial robots will be installed in more than 50,000 warehouses around the world by 2025, up from just under 4,000 warehouses in 2018.<\/p>\n \u2022 Gartner<\/a> says that 25% percent of customer service and support operations will integrate virtual customer assistant (VCA) or chatbot technology across engagement channels by 2020.<\/p>\n \u2022 E-commerce giants like Alibaba<\/a>, eBay<\/a>, and Amazon<\/a> are using Al to detect fake reviews, to implement highly engaging conversational experiences (chatbots), to suggest product recommendations, etc. They make use of AI to enhance site search and product discovery easier for their online customers.<\/p>\n As we are entering an era wherein 85% of consumer-retailer interactions will happen without interacting with a human, do you think you can shy away from this sweeping intelligence? If you want to stay in trend, consider implementing AI in your e-commerce website and the overall e-commerce experience.<\/p>\n 1. Kill irrelevant product displays through personalized recommendations<\/strong><\/p>\n A major problem that any e-commerce retailers face is the abandoned carts. The major cause for this is not getting the exact or near-exact product that the customers are searching for. If your e-commerce search engines can think the way humans do, there will not be any more irrelevant product displays and cart abandonment.<\/p>\n Machine-learning is a great way to track customer behaviour and to offer personalized recommendations. Designing a product recommendation engine for your e-commerce website (by integrating a set of self-learning algorithms) will drive more sales. It will give personalized product suggestions based on the users\u2019 preferences, feedback, activities on the website, past purchases and latest trends.<\/p>\n Product recommendations that complement previous purchases or viewed items will encourage repeat purchases besides keeping your customers on your website for a longer time.<\/p>\n As per a report released by Mckinsey<\/a>, 35% of Amazon\u2019s revenue is generated by its recommendation engine. The \u2018Frequently Bought Together\u2019 option and the \u2018Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought\u2019 option lures customers to buy a combo of products rather than a single product.<\/p>\n Other benefits of AI-powered personalized recommendations are:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Improved search engine ranking 2. Take advantage of Conversational Commerce through Chatbots<\/strong><\/p>\n An effective conversation between customers and salesperson\/retailer is crucial to have an effective buying experience. There is no need for a real physical human to ask questions and to clear up doubts related to the merchandise. Chatbots are a potent AI system that can substitute real humans for managing customer service, information acquisition or lead generation. It conducts an effective conversation via auditory or textual methods by simulating how a human would perform in an automatic way.<\/p>\n Online shoppers and brands can chat via the retailer\u2019s FB messenger handle, website chat or even mobile apps. Getting information about the right size of sneakers that you are looking for or the availability of the statement necklace that you have been eying for long is super-easy thanks to chatbots and voicebots.<\/p>\n Other benefits of AI-powered chatbots are:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Allow people to dispense with routine tasks and attend more on strategic business aspects 3. Visual Search to facilitate precise purchases<\/strong><\/p>\n Though voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, Microsoft Cortana, Google Assistant or Google Home can help prospective customers with product query, it can be done more effectively through Visual Search<\/a>. If you really want a product but are unable to describe what it is, you can simply upload the image of the object to get the exact search query and results. Google Image<\/a>, eBay Image Search and Find It<\/a>, Alibaba\u2019s Pailitao<\/a>, etc. have implemented image search technology and are improving on it.<\/p>\n AI-powered Visual Search frees you from guesswork regarding the brand names, style, retailer, etc. Just snapping the image and uploading it in the image search engine will yield the best results enabling you to purchase the precise product that you wanted to buy.<\/p>\n AI helps the machine to perceive, interpret and derive visual cues. It applies automated image classification and product tagging and retrieves relevant results.<\/p>\n Other benefits of Visual Search are:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Boosts customers\u2019 desire to discover new products and brands. Artificial Intelligence confers incredible powers on machines to assist you in performing manual tasks effectually.
