Lookiero is a latest subscription-based online fashion sales model generation. Using Artificial Intelligenceoffers its users five garments a month selected from more than a hundred European fashion brands. After answering a series of questions online, customers receive the clothes at home, adapted to their style, size and personal preferences, and decide which garments to keep and which to return, at no additional cost.
In just three years, the company has developed a proprietary technology capable of estimating the probability of a user deciding to keep the garments received after analysing the interactions of thousands of customers with similar profiles thanks to recommendation algorithms. This use of Artificial Intelligence is also applied in the field of operations, warehousing and logistics.
It is a business model that increased Lookiero's revenue by 200% in 2018, and has quickly attracted the attention of private investors.
