The Challenge

  • The affiliate network noticed that as time goes on, people use more and more devices on a daily basis to shop: phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, etc.
  • The issue they faced was to see all of the sales across all of these devices belonging to each user.
  • The client had its own cross device tracking solution based on deterministic data.
  • The deterministic approach had limitations as it relied on hashed email addresses which only some of the users wanted to supply, most likely for privacy reasons.
  • Unidentifiable transactions were costing the client money and they required a solution to fully identify.

 


Our Approach

  • Create a graph that shows all of the different devices that belong to a given user.
  • Follow the corresponding clicks on the different devices for each user.
  • Attribute the sales that otherwise could not be connected with a user, thus recovering sales that would have been lost to a competitor.

How We Did It

1

The client supplied Roqad with sales transaction data, which was used to train machine learning algorithms.

2

Roqad worked closely with the client’s product and account management teams to adjust the solution to fit their needs.

3

It was decided that a more frequent product delivery made sense: starting from once per month, then every 2 weeks, and then weekly.
