One-size-fits-all might work for your favorite t-shirt, but it’s a disaster when applied to your marketing strategy. In a time when every customer expects messages and offers tailored just for them, marketers need to focus on creating experiences that resonate on a personal level.
Bloomreach is leading this shift by harnessing the MACH framework to deliver adaptable, scalable, AI-powered solutions. Our platform empowers brands to create personalized experiences that captivate customers from the moment they discover your brand, through their first purchase, and beyond.
In this blog, we’ll explore how Bloomreach’s MACH-aligned technologies are revolutionizing ecommerce personalization. Discover how our solutions, including hybrid vector search and deep personalization, are setting a new standard for customer engagement strategies that drive serious business growth.
Bloomreach and the MACH Alliance
The MACH Alliance is all about advancing open, best-in-class ecosystems and helping businesses move from outdated systems to modern, customizable platforms. To support this shift, the MACH Alliance focuses on four key principles:
- M – Microservices-based: Individual parts of the system work together but are independently managed
- A – API-first: All functionalities are accessible through an API
- C – Cloud-native SaaS: Cloud features go beyond storage and hosting to include functionalities like scaling and automatic updates
- H – Headless: The front-end presentation is separated from the back-end logic, allowing for greater flexibility
Bloomreach is proud to be part of the MACH Alliance, and our platform follows all of the key principles: adopting microservices, improving our APIs, and leveraging cloud technology to enhance performance and stability.
In particular, our platform helps businesses use data to create personalized marketing campaigns that accelerate customer spending. A recent Deloitte study finds that 67% of shoppers spend more when marketing personalization understands their needs and preferences.
Our solutions are designed to offer exactly what your shoppers are looking for in a brand experience, while also simplifying how your team manages customer and product data. With over 150 integrations, our platform seamlessly connects with other systems, efficiently handling everything from customer relationship management to instant messaging and email marketing.
As a MACH-compliant company, we also focus on providing boundless flexibility that helps businesses quickly adapt to changing market conditions. This also ensures our platform meets the needs of both developers and business teams, ultimately maximizing your return on investment.
How MACH Enables AI-Powered Personalization
MACH architecture provides an agile and scalable foundation that’s essential for AI-powered personalization. By integrating best-in-class solutions that work smoothly together, businesses can easily collect and process data from different sources. This connected approach lets AI algorithms use a wider range of data, which is essential for creating highly personalized experiences that meet each customer’s needs.
For example, a retail company using MACH architecture can integrate its ecommerce platform with its CRM and social media channels. This makes it easier for the company to collect data about how its customers behave and what they like to buy. With this information, AI algorithms can analyze customer patterns more accurately. Then, the retailer can send marketing messages that entice shoppers to purchase.
MACH’s modular structure also makes it easy for businesses to add new AI-powered tools and services to their existing technology systems. When you can quickly add new AI tools to your marketing stack, you can work with the reassurance that your personalization strategies are always current and effective.
Bloomreach’s AI engine, Loomi AI, demonstrates the power of MACH architecture in improving personalization. Loomi AI is integrated into all our solutions and refines every customer interaction, from suggesting personalized product recommendations to triggering automated campaigns based on customer behavior.
Loomi AI’s unified approach outperforms disparate marketing technology stacks that struggle with data inconsistencies and provide unreliable recommendations. By analyzing real-time data and leveraging the MACH framework, Loomi AI delivers personalized experiences that resonate with customers and encourage them to spend more. This consolidated platform serves as a single source of truth for AI training, ensuring accurate, actionable insights, and consistent recommendations.
Ecommerce Brands Find Success With MACH-Aligned AI Personalization
For an example of MACH and AI-driven personalization in action, just look at Deutsche Telekom, which has transformed its customer experience. Our MACH-compliant solution has empowered the brand to deliver personalized content, manage content efficiently, and accelerate time-to-market. Bloomreach’s API-first architecture offers flexibility and scalability, resulting in a more engaging user experience for Deutsche Telekom’s 1 million+ customers.
We’ve also helped PrettyLittleThing with its reengagement strategies. With Bloomreach’s API-first, headless, and cloud-native platform, the fashion retailer introduced hyper-personalized, omnichannel workflows inspired by individual customer behavior. This approach, powered by our AI-driven insights, led to a 133% increase in revenue per mobile push notification, a 112% increase in orders, and a 123% increase in conversions, showcasing the effectiveness of MACH architecture in driving customer engagement.
