A real-world example

For each customer, which fulfillment pathway (store pickup, delivery, ship-to-store) will they prefer for their next order?

Retailers offer multiple fulfillment options but present them generically — defaulting to shipping even when a customer lives 2 miles from a store. Mismatched fulfillment increases last-mile costs, delivery failures, and returns. Meanwhile, BOPIS (buy online, pick up in store) drives 30% higher in-store attach rates that retailers miss by not surfacing it to the right customers.

How KumoRFM solves this

Relational intelligence for optimal actions

Kumo connects customers, orders, and stores into a relational graph that captures fulfillment preferences, location proximity, order history, and cross-channel behavior. The multi-class prediction assigns each customer the most likely fulfillment type for their next order — enabling personalized checkout defaults that reduce friction and maximize attach revenue.
