Conversational experiences delivered

M&S has adopted Artificial Intelligence for Retail Stores and Customer Services as part of the enterprise digital transformation programme.

The solution runs on a custom-build, multi-cloud platform fondly called ‘Ava’. Its success exceeded expectations on all counts: customer engagement and satisfaction as well as operational efficiency.
