Zalando : How Zalando helps customers make the perfect fashion choices

Once customers find items they want to buy, algorithms help them to pick the right size directly. Thanks to both the information from Zalando's Size and Fit team, which tells customers if an item runs smaller or larger than the average, and - if applicable - input from past purchases, they receive the advice they need to buy the right fit the first time. And not only that - now, customers can provide a size reference in their size profile, and thus be able to receive recommendations without having to make a purchase. With all this information, customers can filter the catalogue by their preferred sizes, making the selections more relevant for them. "With our Size Advice, we not only improve customer experience by helping them find what fits, but we're also able to reduce size-related returns. Our goal is to have fewer parcels being shipped back and forth because something is ill-fitting." explains Stacia Carr, VP Size and Fit at Zalando.
