Important

1. Involve the business  to get the right problem statement and domain expertise

2. To impact the outcome like the bottom line, you need to involve the different stakeholders and the capability to optimize multiple objectives at the same time (retention and total margin)

3. Find the right balance between human and artificial intelligence.

Systems Involved: 

– ERP: Order data > products & services, recensy, frequency, monetary value, payment behaviour, 

– CRM: Customer data  like type, location, NPS

– Service: Complaints and number of hours worked per customer 

Result

Due to accurate predictions about who will leave and their customer lifetime value, we could pick the ones that need a specific treatment. Even more, we predicted which offer would be relevant to keep them onboard while keeping the margin at the same or higher level, boosting the total margin.
