AI-Powered Personalization Engines: Predict Customer Intent & Drive Revenue
Move beyond basic segmentation. We build and implement enterprise-grade platforms that deliver true 1:1 customer experiences in real-time, boosting loyalty and your bottom line.
Unlock 1:1 Personalization
In today's digital marketplace, generic customer experiences are a direct path to revenue loss. Your customers expect you to understand their needs, anticipate their next move, and deliver relevant content at the perfect moment. Anything less feels disconnected and drives them to competitors. The challenge isn't knowing you need to personalize; it's executing it at scale without overwhelming your teams or breaking your tech stack. We bridge that gap. Our AI-powered personalization engines move beyond simplistic rules to deliver dynamic, 1:1 experiences that demonstrably increase conversion rates, average order value (AOV), and customer lifetime value (CLV), turning fleeting interactions into lasting loyalty.

Proven Success in Personalization
Case Study: Boosting AOV for a Global Fashion Retailer
Industry: E-commerce & Retail
Client Overview: A leading online fashion retailer with a catalog of over 50,000 SKUs, facing challenges with product discovery and stagnant Average Order Value (AOV). Their existing recommendation system was based on simple "best-seller" lists and failed to cater to individual user tastes, leading to low engagement with recommended products.
"CIS didn't just give us a tool; they gave us a new way to understand our customers. The AI-powered recommendation engine has become a core part of our revenue strategy. The results speak for themselves."
The Challenge: Generic Recommendations, Lost Revenue
- Low click-through rates on existing product recommendations.
- Difficulty surfacing relevant items from a massive and fast-changing inventory.
- Inability to personalize the shopping experience for new vs. returning customers.
- Stagnant AOV as customers were not discovering complementary products.
Our Solution: A Multi-Model AI Recommendation Engine
We developed and implemented a hybrid AI recommendation engine that integrated seamlessly with their Magento platform. The solution combined multiple strategies for maximum impact:
- Real-Time Collaborative Filtering: Analyzed user behavior in real-time to generate "Customers who viewed this also viewed" and "Complete the look" carousels.
- Content-Based Filtering: Used Natural Language Processing (NLP) on product descriptions and attributes to recommend visually and stylistically similar items.
- Personalized Homepage: Dynamically re-ranked product categories and curated collections on the homepage based on individual browsing history and purchase data.
- A/B Testing Framework: Deployed a rigorous testing model to continuously optimize the recommendation algorithms and UI placement for maximum revenue lift.
Case Study: Driving Engagement for a Video Streaming Service
Industry: Media & Entertainment
Client Overview: A rapidly growing subscription-based video streaming platform (SVOD) struggling with user churn. While their content library was strong, their user interface was static, making it difficult for users to discover new content aligned with their interests. This led to "content fatigue" and a high cancellation rate after the initial trial period.
"The personalized content rows transformed our user experience from a simple library into a dynamic, engaging discovery platform. CIS's expertise in media personalization was instrumental in reducing our churn and increasing watch time."
The Challenge: High Churn and Low Content Discovery
- Over 40% of users canceled their subscription within the first three months.
- User analytics showed that most users only watched a handful of popular titles.
- The platform failed to effectively promote its vast back-catalog of niche content.
- Lack of personalization led to a generic, unengaging user experience.
Our Solution: A Dynamic, AI-Powered Content Discovery Platform
We engineered a personalization engine to overhaul the user's content discovery journey from the moment they logged in:
- Personalized Content Rows: Replaced static category rows with dozens of dynamically generated, personalized rows like "Because you watched...", "Top Picks for You," and "Hidden Gems in Sci-Fi."
- Predictive Churn Modeling: Developed a machine learning model to identify users at high risk of churning based on their viewing patterns (or lack thereof).
- Targeted Email & Push Notifications: Integrated the engine with their marketing automation platform to send personalized "new content you'll love" alerts and re-engagement campaigns to at-risk users.
- Mood & Theme-Based Recommendations: Used AI to tag content with nuanced metadata, allowing for recommendations based on mood (e.g., "Witty Comedies") or complex themes.
Case Study: Increasing Bookings for a Luxury Travel Agency
Industry: Travel & Hospitality
Client Overview: A high-end travel agency specializing in bespoke vacation packages. Their website functioned like a static brochure, showcasing destinations but failing to capture user intent or tailor offers. The lead generation process was manual and inefficient, with high bounce rates on key landing pages.
"We went from a one-size-fits-all website to a dynamic, personal travel consultant for every visitor. The real-time personalization engine built by CIS has fundamentally changed how we engage with potential clients, and the impact on qualified leads has been phenomenal."
The Challenge: Static Offers and Low Lead Conversion
- High bounce rates on destination and package pages.
- Identical content shown to all visitors, regardless of their budget, interests, or origin.
- Low conversion rate from website visitor to qualified lead.
- Inability to capitalize on real-time signals of user intent (e.g., repeated views of family-friendly resorts).
Our Solution: Real-Time Itinerary & Content Personalization
We built a personalization platform that transformed their website into an interactive, responsive travel planning tool:
- Dynamic Landing Pages: The hero image, headline, and featured packages on the homepage changed based on the user's location, referral source, and browsing behavior.
- Behavioral Offer Targeting: If a user repeatedly viewed pages related to "adventure travel," the site would dynamically feature hiking and diving packages and surface relevant blog content.
- Personalized Itinerary Suggestions: The engine would assemble and suggest tailored travel itineraries in real-time based on user inputs and implicit interests.
- Lead Scoring Integration: User interaction data was fed into their Salesforce CRM, creating a lead score that allowed the sales team to prioritize follow-ups with the most engaged prospects.

Frequently Asked Questions
The timeline can vary based on complexity and data readiness. A typical MVP (Minimum Viable Product) for a recommendation engine can be launched in 8-12 weeks. A more comprehensive, multi-channel personalization platform can take 4-6 months. Our initial strategy phase provides a detailed and realistic timeline tailored to your specific project.
While more high-quality data is always better, you can start seeing value with a solid foundation of user interaction data (clicks, views, purchases) and product/content metadata. We conduct a data readiness assessment as a first step to identify what you have, what you need, and how to bridge any gaps. Even with limited data, we can start with simpler models and increase sophistication as your data assets grow.
We use a scientific approach. We establish a control group (users who see the non-personalized experience) and test it against one or more treatment groups (users who see the personalized experience). By tracking key metrics like conversion rate, AOV, and engagement for each group, we can precisely measure the incremental lift and calculate the financial ROI of the program.
Absolutely. Our solutions are built with an API-first philosophy. This means we can integrate with any platform, whether it's a popular SaaS solution like Shopify or a completely custom, homegrown system. We provide robust APIs and work closely with your technical team to ensure a seamless and secure integration.
They are complementary technologies. A CDP is primarily for data collection, unification, and segmentation; it creates the unified customer profile. A personalization engine is the "brain" that uses that data to make decisions and deliver the personalized experience in real-time. We integrate with your CDP to activate the data it collects, turning profiles into actions.
