Amazon-like recommendation system for SMEs.

[enocsolano]

Hi, I have a question, is it possible to make a recommendation system of which product to buy? A system similar to what Netflix or Amazon manages in their systems of recommending products?

For example, in my case, a sales system.
To recommend which products to sell to different customers according to what they buy.

To recommend, you need the recommendation system that detects:

if customer1 buys x things n times (and that buying pattern is repeated by n customers)

and customer 2 buys the same x product from customer1

then

The recommender system recommends to customer2 a product that customer2 could possibly buy according to the buying pattern of customer1 and n customers who make the same, similar purchases.

EXAMPLE TABLE

Products in inventory	customers	purchased product	times purchased	Recommended product

Question.🤔
What other variables are needed in order to make the recommender system?

I am very lost, I need help.

Have you checked Intelligence > Predictive Models, it might help.

Hmmmm.... 🤔🤔🤔

A LOT would go into this, but starting small will reveal the way.

But to get started, you could do something like this:

• You could include a category, or several layers of categories.
• You could use an OrderBy() to put the items in order, based on the categories that they've purchased before

The problem with predictive models is that they need to be individualized per person. You can't build a generalized predictive model based on the buying options of a group of people, the suggestions from the group probably won't align very well with what the individual would want.
