Title
AWS re:Invent 2023 - How AWS supports luxury customer experiences [French] (GBL204)
Summary
- Kevin Polosa, a solution architect at AWS France, discusses the luxury industry's projected revenue of $1.5 trillion in 2023 and its reliance on exceptional customer experiences across various sectors, including travel, automotive (e.g., Ferrari's use of IoT for Formula 1), and fashion.
- The talk emphasizes the importance of personalization in luxury retail, exemplified by the relationship between a Brazilian customer, John, and a sales associate, Emma, and the challenges when John encounters a different associate, Julia, in Paris.
- John represents a "very important client" (VIC) segment, which, despite being only 0.01% of the global population, accounts for 40% of luxury industry revenue.
- The presentation covers the impact of COVID-19 on the luxury industry, with a shift towards e-commerce and the challenges faced by supply chains.
- AWS solutions like Amazon Monitron for predictive maintenance, ERP migration to the cloud, AWS Supply Chain for demand planning and inventory visibility, and Amazon Personalize for e-commerce personalization are discussed.
- The talk also explores omnichannel communication with Amazon Connect, in-store experience improvements with AWS Panorama, and data modernization using Amazon DynamoDB and AWS services for real-time data streaming and global data replication.
- Kevin concludes by offering AWS workshops (e-merchandises) on Amazon Monitron, Amazon Personalize, and AWS Panorama to help businesses innovate and improve customer experiences.
