AI & Machine Learning
Predictive Analytics for Retail

Successful retailers use machine learning and artificial intelligence in fashion retail to create the ideal assortments

Fashion is constantly changing, and so are your customers’ preferences

Get your customers the products they want to buy through the power of AI and Machine Learning

Every retailer and brand wants to know the next fashion trends seasons in advance. While designers’ intuition and the Fashion Week runways may offer some clues, retailers and brands need something better, and in-store testing isn’t the answer. In the Age of Technology and the Connected Consumer, retailers and brands have a new opportunity to move out of their comfort zones and experience the power of data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning all in one platform—First Insight’s InsightSuite.

The First Insight platform makes it easy for you to identify your winning and underperforming products. Simply input your new product designs and the process begins. First, our retail platform collects customer feedback on your product designs through social, email, and third-party panels to gather a statistically significant sample size. Then it applies AI and Machine Learning to analyze the responses and forecast the outcomes for predicted product performance. The results provide clear product value scores from one to ten, aggregated customer comments, and price sensitivity data with actionable recommendations within 24 – 48 hours.

Data-Driven Accuracy

Our platform’s Artificial Intelligence continues to become smarter with Machine Learning. For more than a decade, we have been collecting over 8,000,000 data points per month from consumers and retail manufacturers in 30+ countries to feed into our machine learning algorithm. These data points continue to increase the accuracy and precision of our predictions. They also allow us to provide geographic product recommendations by state, country, and region. Machine Learning enables us to identify fashion trends in near-real-time and predict seasonal trends ahead of other market resources.

Stretch your fashion design creativity.

In a saturated retail market with fierce competition and many similar products, customers are looking for the best, the new, and the different. While many retailers and brands are hesitant to launch risky and unique products, those who use our InsightSuite platform can take their fashion design creativity to the next level. By using product photos or 3D CADs, retailers and brands can try different iterations of the same product design to pinpoint exactly which one resonates best with customers and understand why. The information learned from each test encourages creativity and increases new product success rates.
