We will show you how we transformed an already convenient shopping experience into a delightful ultra-fast shopping blitz-stop. In this talk we provide a view behind the scenes of our deep-learning based behavioral analytics and prediction engine. We will talk you through our ups-and-downs of product, category and promotional recommendations of FMCGs and do not shy away from demoing also the failures. Now we are able to predict with >95% likelihood the top 12 articles of the next order of each of our customers.
