Boosting Sales with an AI-Powered Recommendation Engine 

Overview

Turning Data into Sales: Smarter Product Discovery

An online shopping platform wanted to help customers find the right products faster and improve overall sales. We built a recommendation engine that studies user behavior, purchase history, and browsing patterns to suggest the most relevant products in real time.

This made shopping more personal, increased customer satisfaction, and led to higher conversions and larger cart values.
