About The Customer
Hush is a top social commerce app in the United States, focused on bringing the social aspect of shopping to the digital world. The company believes that shopping is a social experience and that many purchases are experiential and emotional. This is particularly true for beauty products, which is Hush's focus. The company has invested heavily in becoming a mobile-first online retailer, using insights about users' product tastes and shopping preferences to curate the in-app experience of each customer. Hush has built a proprietary social feed directly into their app, which is updated constantly based on user behavior.
The Challenge
The rise of e-commerce has led to the closure of many brick-and-mortar stores, with Americans spending over $400 billion a year online. However, the online shopping experience is largely transactional, lacking the human interaction and emotion that comes with physical shopping. Hush, a top social commerce app in the United States, aims to bring the social aspect of shopping to the digital world. The company believes that shopping is a social experience and that many purchases are experiential and emotional. This is particularly true for beauty products, Hush's focus, where people want to interact and talk with like-minded individuals about what they're buying.
The Solution
Hush has invested heavily in becoming a mobile-first online retailer, using insights about users' product tastes and shopping preferences to curate the in-app experience of each customer. The company has built a proprietary social feed directly into their app, which is updated constantly based on user behavior. Behind Hush’s app and social feed, dozens of data science models are running 24/7, providing users with personalized product recommendations, customized discounted bundles, and interactive reward opportunities. These models are deployed and managed using Alteryx. The platform allows the data science team to embed their predictive models, built using Python, into the mobile app without having to rewrite them into a back-end web-application language.
Operational Impact
  • Hush has transformed their push notifications with real-time machine learning, creating models that constantly refine their understanding of user preferences and customize the user experience accordingly.
  • The company has seen a 3x increase in sales from this use case alone.
  • With Alteryx, Hush's data science team can spend their time doing what they love, rather than worrying about whether their models will ever see the light of day.
Quantitative Benefit
  • 3x increase in sales from the use of Alteryx
