For replenishment brands on Shopify

More sales from the customers you already have. Fewer emails.

Every night, machine learning decides for each customer whether an email would lead to an order, what to offer and when. Everyone else is left alone, and a group that is never emailed shows what the emails really added.

What you get every night

Three models retrained from scratch, then one decision for every customer.

Every night it reads your whole order history and retrains three machine learning models: who will reorder within 60 days, who will start a subscription within 90 days, and who will buy a product new to them within 90 days. Each is graded every night on customers it has never seen, against the rule it replaced, and the report records it when a model loses.

Then it decides, for every customer, which one message would help right now, hands that decision to your Klaviyo account, and paces the sends across the day. On a recent night the reorder model scored a ROC-AUC of 0.7835 on 302,671 customers it had never seen.

  1. 01

    One decision per customer.

    Exactly one campaign, with a calibrated probability that means what it says: a 0.30 is a 30 percent chance within about 90 days, comparable across campaigns. Nothing in Unlapse reads 99 percent.

  2. 02

    The products, chosen.

    One to three per customer, from a ranker over their whole purchase history, never a free sample, never a product they were only ever given.

  3. 03

    The reason, in one sentence.

    Built only from the signals that made the decision, so your team can check any send. For the demo customer: “Active buyer, 6 orders about every 31 days, 34 days since the last one; model ranks them about 12 times likelier to reorder than average.”

  4. 04

    Who to leave alone.

    Anyone who just bought, anyone emailed in the last 21 days, and anyone Klaviyo cannot deliver to. On the first brand that is about three quarters of the people it could contact, every morning.

  5. 05

    Sends paced across the day.

    An even slice every 20 minutes, never a burst.

Four jobs

The four jobs your team runs every week, each with its number.

You already paid to acquire these customers. And 31.3% of first-time buyers on the first brand placed a second order within 90 days on their own, so any email programme has to beat that. Most quietly take credit for it. This one measures against it.

Predictive reorder

32.5%

of the reorder model's top thousand picks bought within 60 days, on a recent night.

Against a base rate of 0.84%.

See who should buy again and whether they are in rhythm, entering their window, or overdue. The model is retrained every night and graded on customers it has never seen. Stop guessing from a days-since-order column.

Win-back

5.37%

of recently lapsed customers actually came back, on a leak-free holdout.

Long lapsed 2.10%, dormant 0.81%.

Catch buyers who skipped a cycle before they go cold. The three tiers are treated differently because they behave differently. A customer who paused their subscription is never sent a win-back.

Cross-sell

15.5%

of the cross-sell model's top thousand bought a product new to them within 90 days.

Against 20.9% for the co-purchase rule it was built to replace. Loses at the top

Recommend what buyers of Product A usually add next, from the co-purchase patterns in your own store, with the products this customer already has taken out. The model currently loses to the rule at the top of the list, and the engine reports that every night.

Subscriptions

56%

of the incumbent retention tool's “upgrade to subscription” list were already active subscribers. It could not see the subscription platform.

Only about 23% were genuine candidates.

Spot one-time buyers who behave like subscribers. The engine reads your subscriptions in Loop, so it knows who is already subscribed, who paused, and who lapsed.

One night, in four loops

From the order history to a held-back control group.

  1. 01

    Every night.

    Five models retrained, 568,836 customers scored, one decision each.

  2. 02

    One customer, one email.

    Three products, one link, one reason. Your flows do the rest.

  3. 03

    Sent across the day, not at once.

    Flat within five percent, untuned.

  4. 04

    Five of every hundred never get our emails.

    That is how it knows what the rest were worth.

The difference

Not a reminder timer.

When
A reorder reminderA reminder fires when a customer passes their average gap between orders.
This engineModels retrained every night predict who will order soon, for every customer.
What
A reorder reminderThe same product again.
This engineThe product they are due for, one they have not bought that people like them add, or a subscription.
The cart
A reorder reminderA one-click cart for the product in the reminder.
This engineUp to three products chosen for that customer, all in one cart link.
Who
A reorder reminderEveryone past the interval.
This engineOne decision per customer per night, and most customers get nothing: recent buyers, people emailed in the last 21 days and people who cannot be mailed are left alone.
Proof
A reorder reminderThe dashboard counts every order after a reminder as its result.
This engine5 in 100 customers never get the engine's emails, so the difference they make is measured, not assumed.
Honesty
Each model is graded every night against the rule it replaced, and the report says so when a model loses.

We do not promise a lift. We measure one.

Five percent of your customers are never emailed by Unlapse. Every report compares the emailed group with them, with a confidence interval, on your own orders. When the emails work, you see it. When a campaign is only taking credit for purchases that were coming anyway, you see that too, before you pay for another year of it.

How the measurement works

Proof

What runs every night on the first brand.

  • Three models retrained from scratch every night, each graded on customers it never saw
  • The highest score in the system is 0.598. Nothing reads 99 percent
  • One customer, one campaign, one sentence saying why
  • Five of every hundred customers never get our emails, so the numbers can be checked
  • Sends spread across the day, flat within five percent, untuned
  • Two standalone test suites; a sender that dry-runs unless deliberately switched on
