RightFit- A Data Science Approach to Reduce Product Returns in Fashion e-Commerce
Ashish Kulkarni
@kulashish
Fashion e-commerce industries experience a lot of product returns (or exchange) from customers. Most of these are attributed to incorrect size (or fitment). The talk will focus on this problem and present a solution to reduce such returns. Specifically, we present a data science driven approach to profile our customers based on their past purchases and returns and use that to recommend the right size product or flag a potential return.
