Challenge: Enhancing Customer Communication and Personalization

Alpha Bank, a leading financial institution, sought a solution that could intelligently communicate with customers and provide personalized financial product recommendations. The bank faced several challenges:

Generic, untargeted communication methods lead to low customer engagement.
Lack of real-time, event-based notifications, resulting in delayed or missed opportunities to connect with customers.
No centralized AI-driven system to analyze customer behavior and preferences for tailored product recommendations.

Alpha Bank needed an advanced solution that could provide personalized, timely, and multi-channel engagement while seamlessly integrating with its existing systems.

The Solution: Implementing Personar for Intelligent Customer Engagement

Parallax Works provided Personar, an AI-driven customer engagement platform designed to analyze customer behavior and deliver targeted, multi-language, and multi-channel personalized messages and alerts to meet Alpha Bank's needs.

Key Features of the Solution

AI-Driven Personalization
Personar leveraged RFM analysis (Recency, Frequency, and Monetary) and Smart Segmentation to understand each customer's transaction history, spending habits, and behavior, enabling hyper-personalized recommendations.
Multi-Channel Communication
The platform seamlessly integrated with Alpha Bank's systems to enable real-time engagement via:
- SMS
- Email
- Viber
- WhatsApp
- In-app push notifications
Advanced Event-Based Alerting
Personar's robust API layer is connected to Alpha Bank's systems to trigger event-driven alerts. Whenever an external system generated an event (e.g., a new transaction, policy update, loan pre-approval, or security alert), Personar instantly sent a personalized notification to the relevant customer.
Omnichannel Campaign Management
Personar's built-in campaign builder enabled Alpha Bank to launch targeted marketing campaigns across different customer segments, ensuring:
- Customers received relevant offers based on their needs.
- Messages were delivered via the most effective communication channels.
- Engagement rates improved with timely and personalized outreach.
