Caravan Fragancias, a Grupo Saphir Parfums brand and a benchmark in accessible perfumery in Spain, has developed Fabiola: an Artificial Intelligence avatar that acts as a personal shopper in the aisle and as the brand's digital representative at every point of sale. Simply integrated through QR codes on shelf stoppers, Fabiola accompanies customers from their own phone, listens to their preferences, recommends personalised fragrances in real time and invites them to explore beyond their usual choices. A new form of measurable customer experience in the retail sector.
Turning the aisle into a personalised, measurable conversation
Caravan Fragancias, a Grupo Saphir Parfums brand, wanted to take its retail innovation strategy a step further: to be actively present at every point of sale, reposition catalogue products and invite customers to discover new fragrances beyond their usual choices. The challenge was twofold. On one hand, to design an accessible tool that would add value from the customer's own phone, with no additional in-store infrastructure. On the other, to do it in a way that made the interaction measurable, generating real data on consumer tastes, in-aisle behaviour and the effectiveness of AI recommendations.
