Magnit Starts Implementing AI-Powered Customer Offering Personalization

 

Krasnodar, Russia (December 14, 2021): Magnit PJSC (MOEX and LSE: MGNT; the Company, Magnit), one of Russia's leading retailers started introducing customer-specific promo offers. Using specially tailored AI-powered algorithms, Magnit will manage thousands of microsegments comprising its audience and provide them with the most relevant promotions through a number of different communication channels. The Company plans to roll out its CVM (Customer Value Management) tools in 2022.

With the launch of the new CVM capabilities, Magnit will completely transform the way it creates personalized promo offers and transition from manually managing promo campaigns for each specific segment to an automated system. Right now, the Company is updating its business processes to facilitate a full-scale roll-out in 2022. The project is being implemented together with the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) - a company with a strong expertise and extensive experience in similar projects with global retailers.

Hyper-personalized promo offers will be created using the data gathered via Magnit's loyalty program. As of the end of Q3 2021, it had almost 55 million participants and boasted over 65% penetration in sales.

Today, the Company develops generalized promo offers for segments of 100,000 or more customers, with a lot of the work on creating and uploading the messages and performing analytics done manually. The new system will automatically establish customer segments based on hundreds of different parameters identified during the entire customer lifecycle, craft special offers for a wide variety of groups, which may range from thousands of people to just one person, and evaluate promo performance on a daily basis. Dynamic segmentation will enable Magnit to create offers for every campaign. Self-learning algorithms will pair customer groups with the right mechanics (e.g., most relevant products, discounts, coupons, bonuses) at the right time, as well as pick the right channels to communicate such mechanics, including Magnit's app, push notifications, SMS, etc.

To implement CVM, the Company established three product teams consisting of data scientists, Big Data analysts, marketing specialists, and commercial experts. They will work under agile methodology - a set of flexible collaboration practices that enable teams to adjust processes rapidly on demand. Magnit plans to actively engage its suppliers in creating personalized offers, ensure joint support for their promotions, and increase sales of their products.

"This represents a fundamentally new approach to how we manage our customers, one that focuses on creating the most effective offers tailored specifically to each customer's needs and communicating these offers via the right channel at the right time. Thanks to the best global practices brought in by BCG, after our algorithms are launched, Magnit will become one of the first Russian retailers able to operate thousands of unique promo campaigns every day. IT systems for CVM will be integrated with the existing tools, and the entire transformation process will take place within the Company's perimeter, which will help minimize costs and speed up the roll-out".

"Today, personalization is no longer a fashionable trend - it is increasingly used as a tool to ensure competitive advantage, especially in retail. Over the last few years, many businesses started experimenting with personalized offers in one form or the other. However, based on our experience with leading global retailers, we see that companies achieving the best results are those that utilize modern AI-powered advanced analytics. This approach enables personalized promo offers to have more than double the output compared to mass promos".
