Marketing Personalization

Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance wanted a reusable AI environment that business teams could use to deploy machine learning models for higher-value client targeting, beginning with a use case to optimize LifeTime Value for new clients and recommend the best next offer to sales representatives.

27 candidates from a number of departments were able to get their hands on CEOS for the first time during a Data Challenge.
three new departments ... could all soon benefit from this platform.

Reported impact

Business outcome

The first full-scale test was described as very conclusive, showing that CEOS can support next-best-offer targeting for new clients while creating a reusable AI platform that can be extended to lending, fraud, risk, and compliance use cases.

  • Revenue Growth
  • Scalability

Solution

Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance built CEOS as an internal data science platform for deploying machine learning models into business workflows. The article says the platform is hosted on the AWS cloud and runs on an open-source Kubernetes foundation, giving the bank a managed environment that can orchestrate deployed applications securely and scale resources up or down automatically with demand. Business data enters the platform from client files, where models learn from customer characteristics to estimate lifetime value and determine the next best offer that representatives can present. Operationally, Digital Services France leads the initiative using an MLOps approach, the Architecture and Innovation team provides business tools and industrialization processes for AI models, the Data Tools team defines the development framework and onboarding path, and CA GIP supplies and maintains the technical base. The same platform is positioned for reuse across lending, fraud, risk, and compliance functions.

Data flow

Client files are analyzed in CEOS, where machine learning models running on AWS cloud infrastructure and orchestrated with Kubernetes learn customer parameters, estimate lifetime value, and output the next best offer for representatives to present to new clients.
