Creating an AI-Based Consumer Behavior Analysis Platform

Why the Customer Chose the Partner?

Quantiphi is a leading AWS consulting partner with competencies in Applied AI, MLOps, Data & Analytics, and Data Migration. This further substantiates Quantiphi’s ability to build and deploy AWS solutions at scale, leveraging Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence and developing critical solutions to address business challenges, and made us the partner of choice for the Apollo Program. Quantiphi’s work over the years with Apollo only cemented their faith in continuing to engage with Quantiphi

Quantiphi Solution

Quantiphi’s solution captures data about the websites visited by a customer and classifies them into a broad category based on keywords contained in the web page to better understand the web page’s offerings and value. Based on the strong correlation between a web page’s offerings and a customer’s fundamental interests, a marketer would be better placed to make critical marketing strategy decisions for running campaigns and creating content.

To realize Apollo’s vision of achieving hyper-personalization, Quantiphi leveraged the AWS cloud platform and broke down the vision statement into the following technological components.

Cost-effective and fully managed ETL pipeline

• Quantiphi used services such as AWS Glue, AWS Athena, AWS Lambda, CodePipelines for scheduling a daily batch process and used Cloudwatch alarms, SNS alerts for data governance
• Achieved 60% reduction in monthly costs by implementing lifecycle policies on intermediate and raw tables, purchasing reserved instances for existing infra, and identifying non-active instances, and stopping them

Creating a feature-rich Consumer Data Platform for both internal and external use

• Quantiphi developed a self-service Consumer Data Platform which automates tasks such as the creation of consumer pools with multiple combinations of first-party and third-party metrics, creation of customer assets such as Accounts, Brands, Projects, and Pixels
• Quantiphi developed a reporting feature in the Web App that provides automated consumer behavior insights and visualizations
• Using NLP, Quantiphi derived keywords, named-entities, language, and sentiment from the web scraped data.

Revising the existing Pixel Server to make it more scalable, robust, and secure

• Quantiphi proposed a revised solution architecture for Pixel Server, which reduced the Pixel fire response time to microseconds. Downtime & risk was reduced by implementing the blue-green deployment technique to move Pixel traffic to new infrastructure
• Pixel Server can now integrate multiple data partners, handle user opt-out requests, and scale to international geographies
