Use-cases per industry

Based on modules currently available in the platform.


1. E-commerce

Context: high-frequency purchases, broad assortment, rich behavioral data (page views, add-to-cart, purchases). This is the standard scenario most Inspire modules were built for.

Use Case

Module

Example

Homepage personalization

Personalized Product Recommendations

"For you" section based on the user-item model

PDP complements/alternatives

Contextual Product Recommendations

"Frequently bought together" / "You might also like"

Reorder / consumables

Frequently Bought Products

"Want to restock your regular coffee beans order?"

Cart/browse recovery

CDP Behavior Trigger + Event-based Retargeting

Abandoned cart pop-up, follow-up email after 24h

Customer segmentation for email

RFM Scorer

Target loyal customers more frequently / with premium items

Bestsellers without personal data (cold start)

Item Enricher

"Trending now" for new or anonymous visitors

Own-brand / margin steering

Boosting & Business Rules

Boost own-brand items on PDP, push high-margin products

Client examples: VerlichtingNL, Akzo Nobel, Prénatal.


2. Travel & Leisure

Context: low repeat-purchase frequency (often once a year, seasonal), but high order value.

Use Case

Module

Example

Upsell during booking

Contextual Product Recommendations

Travel insurance, extra luggage, transfer as a complement to a flight booking

Destination recommendations

Personalized Product Recommendations

Suggest destinations matching past bookings/browsing behavior

Abandoned booking recovery

CDP Behavior Trigger

Flight/hotel viewed but not booked → retargeting email/SMS

Post-trip re-engagement

Event-based Retargeting

Recommend next trip based on season/previous destination

Content-driven engagement between bookings

Attribute Tagger + newsletter

Inspirational content instead of transactional pressure, since the purchase cycle is long

Strategy for low-frequency purchasing: shift focus from "more transactions" to session behavior (browsing/add-to-cart as strong intent signals), content/inspiration engagement, and timing (predicting when someone is "ready to travel again"). Measure success via wishlist additions, email engagement, and time-to-next-booking rather than repeat-purchase rate.


3. LIVE — Festivals & Venues

Context: short, intense customer journey around the event itself, with many one-time/anonymous visitors who become "known" only through their ticket purchase.

Use Case

Module

Example

Pre-event upsell

Contextual / Personalized Recommendations

Recommend VIP upgrade or camping option based on behavior

Abandoned ticket cart

CDP Behavior Trigger

Visitor viewed ticket page but didn't purchase → follow-up workflow

Line-up/content personalization

Attribute Tagger

Genre preference → personalized line-up content in app/website

On-site cross-sell

Personalized Product Recommendations

Merchandise, side-events during the festival itself

Next-event recommendation

Event-based Retargeting

Recommend the next event after the current one, based on genre/behavior


4. Subscription & Membership

Context: small product assortment (sometimes just one core product), so classic recommendation modules (PPR, Frequently Bought) have little to work with. Personalization here is about customer value and retention, not product selection.

Use Case

Module

Example

Find churning customers

RFM Scorer

Predict who is likely to cancel

Upgrade/downgrade triggers

Attribute Tagger + Behavioral Triggers

Usage behavior → upsell to a premium tier

Re-engagement on declining usage

CDP Behavior Trigger

Low check-ins/logins → win-back campaign before cancellation


5. B2B / Wholesale

Context: buyers often reorder routinely, and customer segments need to remain strictly separated (e.g. horeca vs. retail buyers) within the same catalog.

Use Case

Module

Example

Reorder recommendations

Item enricher

A set of products every customer "should" be buying

Buyer segmentation for campaigns

RFM Scorer

Identify at-risk or high-value accounts for targeted follow-up

Cart/browse recovery on B2B portal

CDP Behavior Trigger

Product added but order not completed → follow-up

Catalog personalization

Personalized / Contextual Product Recommendations

Personalized homepage or complement/substitute suggestions per buyer

Post-order cross-sell

Event-based Retargeting

Recommend complementary products after an order is placed
