Retailing & Personalization

Differentiate your brand and foster loyalty with personalized guest experiences using machine learning and artificial intelligence on AWS.

With travel and hospitality becoming ever more commoditized, personalized experiences are a true differentiator. Companies providing products and services matching a specific customer’s tastes and preferences are rewarded with loyalty.
Using machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to evaluate customer data has become "table stakes" in order to assess possible patterns and solutions. AWS has the most comprehensive set of ML/AI services and ecosystem to deliver personalized experiences – even for companies with little to no prior experience. With AWS, companies can process their data, identify what is meaningful, experiment with algorithms, then optimize a personalization model.
