Fashion has always been a fertile ground for innovation. E-commerce has strengthened this trend: with the advent of online shopping, the fashion retail experience has reached a new peak.
From the wide range of products available online to the convenience of free shipping and super-efficient delivery services (including same-day deliveries), our perception of “shopping” has been radically redefined.
In this sector, as in many others today, boundaries are constantly being redrawn, as fashion e-commerce offers increasingly more services and advantages that go far beyond the capabilities of traditional physical stores. Thanks to artificial intelligence and data analysis, in fact, the shopping experience is personalized to the highest level, so that content and recommendations are based on customer preferences and browsing history.
