Analytics & Optimisation

    Analytics Data and Expert Knowledge for Measurably Better Agentic Consulting

    AGINITY AI evaluates what users search for, when they drop off and where the assortment doesn't fit. From these signals, concrete business insights emerge: assortment gaps made visible, customer needs identified, purchase barriers detected. The system doesn't remain static – it becomes more precise with every interaction.

    800 searchable microscopes and microscope accessories

    Hello! I am a digital sales assistant for microscopes and accessories. How can I help you today?

    I want to examine bacteria
    I need a microscope for my 10-year-old son
    Examine drinking water samples

    Which signals are evaluated

    Search queries and phrasing patterns
    Drop-off Points and Zero-Result Sequences
    Click paths after a recommendation
    Recurring follow-up questions that indicate misunderstandings
    Phrasing variants that mean the same product

    These signals are evaluated as aggregated usage patterns – without individual tracking. The result: continuous feedback on where the catalogue and advisory logic can be optimised.

    Identify product catalogue gaps

    Analytics signals deliver concrete business insights: what customers really search for, where the assortment doesn't fit, and which needs the catalogue doesn't yet cover.

    BUSINESS INSIGHTS

    • Understand the intent behind search queries
    • Reveal catalog gaps
    • Identify customer needs & use cases

    From these signals, three strategic insights emerge:

    Assortment gaps: which products customers regularly search for that are missing from the catalogue or not accessible – a direct signal for purchasing and category management.
    Customer needs & use cases: how customers actually want to use products – regardless of how the assortment is internally structured.
    Purchase barriers: where customers drop off even though matching products are available – a direct signal for product marketing and content.

    AGINITY AI condenses these signals into concrete recommendations: which categories should be expanded, which customer needs the assortment does not yet cover and where purchase barriers block conversion.

    Use-case-based optimisation

    Three concrete patterns from practice:

    1
    Starting Point

    Users search for the term waterproof but find no IP-certified devices

    Signal

    High abandonment volume after this query

    Customisation

    Kundensprache 'wasserdicht' wird mit IP-zertifizierten Produkten verknüpft

    Expected Impact

    Zero results for this phrasing are eliminated

    2
    Starting Point

    Users ask about compatibility with model X but receive no model-specific answer

    Signal

    Follow-up loop until abandonment

    Customisation

    Range is extended with compatibility information for model X

    Expected Impact

    Agent can deliver direct compatibility check

    3
    Starting Point

    Agent responds too formally for consumer goods, too informally for B2B requests

    Signal

    Frequent follow-up questions about style, low close rate

    Customisation

    Answer style rule configured by request context

    Expected Impact

    Bounce Rate After Recommendation Decreases

    Expert knowledge trainable to customer requirements

    The agent's consulting style is configurable – not as a one-time setup, but as continuously adjustable rule knowledge:

    Answer style: concise, technical or advisory – depending on context
    Form of address: informal or formal, tone adapted to target audience
    Argumentation logic: which criteria matter in which order
    Do/Don't-Muster: welche Formulierungen erwünscht oder unerwünscht sind
    Sales agent function: active guidance into the closing step at the end of the advisory journey

    This rule knowledge is structured, versioned and protected by approval workflows.

    Governance and Quality Assurance

    Every change to rule knowledge goes through a controlled process:

    Versioning: every rule change creates a new version – older versions remain traceable
    Approval workflow: only authorised roles can activate rule changes
    Audit log: who changed which rule when – fully logged
    Role system: clearly separated permissions for configuration, approval and monitoring

    This prevents uncontrolled quality drift and makes changes traceable.

    FAQ

    What data does AGINITY AI specifically analyse?

    AGINITY AI captures search queries, drop-off points, zero-result patterns, click paths and recurring phrasing – evaluated as aggregated usage signals, not as personal tracking data.

    How are catalogue gaps identified?

    Suchanfragen ohne Ergebnis (Zero Results) und häufige Abbrüche machen sichtbar, welche Produkte Kunden suchen aber nicht finden – ein direktes Signal dafür, wo das Sortiment gezielt ausgebaut werden sollte.

    What does 'trainable expert knowledge' mean?

    The agent's response and advisory style can be adjusted through configurable rules: which criteria come first, which phrasing is preferred, which reasoning chains the agent should use. This rule knowledge is versioned and can only be changed by authorised persons.

    How does a retailer control the agent's response style?

    Through configuration rules: tone specifications (informal/formal, brief/advisory/technical), order of recommendation criteria, do/don't lists for phrasing and product-specific reasoning logic. Changes go through an approval workflow.

    How is quality assured when rule knowledge is changed?

    Every change to rule knowledge is versioned. An approval workflow ensures that only authorised roles can activate rule changes. An audit log documents who changed which rule and when.

    Can the agent also support the checkout step?

    Yes. The sales agent can actively guide through to the checkout step at the end of the advisory journey – through hints about availability, delivery time, compatibility or configurator options. This is a configurable step in the advisory flow.
