AI for E-Commerce & Online Retail

Canadian e-commerce hit $60+ billion in 2025. AI is the difference between an online store that converts at 1% and one that converts at 4% โ€” and that 3% gap can mean millions in revenue.

AI for Product Recommendations

  • Collaborative filtering โ€” "customers who bought X also bought Y"
  • Content-based โ€” AI recommends products based on browsing history and preferences
  • Visual search โ€” customers upload a photo, AI finds matching products
  • Impact: AI recommendations drive 35% of Amazon's revenue

AI for Dynamic Pricing

  • Market-based โ€” AI adjusts prices based on competitor pricing in real-time
  • Demand-based โ€” AI raises or lowers prices based on demand signals
  • Personalized โ€” AI offers targeted discounts to price-sensitive shoppers
  • Clearance โ€” AI optimizes markdown timing to maximize recovery

AI for Cart Recovery

  • Exit intent โ€” AI detects when shoppers are about to leave and triggers offers
  • Abandoned cart emails โ€” AI sends personalized recovery emails with optimal timing
  • Retargeting โ€” AI shows relevant ads to shoppers who didn't complete checkout
  • Impact: AI cart recovery can recapture 15-20% of abandoned carts

AI for Operations

  • Inventory forecasting โ€” AI predicts demand to prevent stockouts and overstock
  • Fraud detection โ€” AI flags suspicious orders before they ship
  • Customer segmentation โ€” AI groups customers by value, behaviour, and lifecycle stage
  • Chatbot support โ€” AI handles order status, returns, and product questions 24/7

"The online store that shows you the right product at the right price with the right incentive doesn't feel like AI โ€” it feels like a shopkeeper who knows you."
