Overview

Building a smarter recurring commerce experience

A subscription-based retail company needed a modern platform to manage recurring orders, customer preferences, product curation, and subscription analytics from one centralized system.

Their existing process relied heavily on manual billing checks, spreadsheet-based product planning, and limited insight into churn, customer preferences, and box performance.

The main challenges included:

  • Recurring billing required manual review and follow-up
  • Customer preferences were difficult to translate into curated selections
  • Inventory planning lacked visibility into upcoming subscription cycles
  • Leadership needed clearer metrics for churn, revenue, and engagement

The goal was a scalable subscription platform that could automate operations while improving personalization and business decision-making.
