Tech StackTechnology We Used
Project Overview
An Australian pet e-commerce brand needed product suggestions that matched each pet's breed, diet, allergies, and lifestyle instead of generic bestseller lists. Starling Elevate built an AI pet product recommendation platform that analyzes pet profiles, matches catalog items, and supports personalized subscription boxes for online shoppers across Australia and New Zealand.
The four-month project used Claude on AWS Bedrock, machine learning models, and PostgreSQL to score products against pet attributes and purchase history.
Pet owners complete detailed profiles during signup. The recommendation engine surfaces suitable food, treats, toys, and care products while explaining why each item fits that pet.
The platform covered profile analysis, intelligent product matching, personalized recommendations, subscription automation, and continuous learning from customer feedback and order data.
Business ChallengesWhy Did Pet E-commerce Need an AI Recommendation System?
Pet products vary widely by breed size, dietary needs, allergies, and life stage. Generic e-commerce recommendations missed these details, which reduced relevance, weakened subscription retention, and made manual curation harder as the customer base grew in Australia.
Generic recommendations ignored individual pet profiles, which led to less relevant suggestions and missed cross-sell opportunities.
There was no structured way to match products with breed, allergy, and dietary attributes at scale.
Subscription box curation was manual and slow, which limited growth as order volume increased.
Customers could not easily see why certain products were suggested, which lowered trust in automated selections.
Limited feedback loops made it difficult to improve recommendations based on returns, reviews, and repeat purchases.
Recommendation logic could not adapt quickly when pet needs, preferences, or buying patterns changed over time.
