Putting artificial intelligence to work for an ultra-personal shopping experience<\/b><\/p>
With a background in distance selling, Blancheporte has become a pioneer in data analysis and use, learning how to know and recognize every one of its two million customers. The brand has created robust omnichannel customer journeys, meeting shoppers at intervals on its social networks, website, blog and through the pages of its catalogue. Einstein for Commerce will allow Blancheporte to take personalization even further by using artificial intelligence to decode its data, wherever it comes from, and create highly engaging customer experiences.<\/p>
Synchronizing and speeding up time to market<\/b><\/p>
Since the launch of its retail website in 2005, Blancheporte has relied on a more frequent renewal of its collections, styled by its in-house design office. The brand now offers 1,600 new models every year, many of which are only available on its website. With Commerce Cloud, Blancheporte will now be able to analyze the reception of its innovations in real-time, both online and in-store, and adjust its ranges accordingly.<\/p>
\u201cComing from a distance selling background, a pioneer in data analysis and use, Blancheporte has learned how to know and recognize every one of its two million customers. By linking our historic experience to the powerful Salesforce platform, we will be able to adapt our collections further to the wishes of the fifty-somethings, present our range in more flexible ways and further improve our plans for retention and increasing customers. This collaborative partnership will also enable us to improve our own skills so that we can further decode and respond to our customers\u2019 expectations,\u201d said Salvatore Spatafora, associate marketing, multi-channel and customer director for Blancheporte.<\/p>
\u201cWe are proud to support Blancheporte, a two-hundred-year-old company that has become the sixth largest e-merchant in the French fashion sector, as it moves into the next stage of its development. With Commerce Cloud, we are going to bring data collected on all of Blancheporte\u2019s channels together so they can interact with each other. Gathered on the Salesforce platform, they will become smarter and more efficient, working for a redesigned customer experience. Using the full power of artificial intelligence is an important way of gaining competitive advantage. Blancheporte has understood this perfectly,\u201d added Olivier Derrien, Salesforce Managing Director in France.<\/p>
