A real-world example

Which loyalty tier will each customer reach in the next 90 days?

Loyalty programs are expensive — a typical retailer spends 2-3% of revenue on rewards. Without predicting tier movement, you over-reward customers who would have stayed anyway and under-reward those on the cusp of upgrading. For a retailer doing $2B in revenue, optimizing tier targeting by just 15% saves $9M in rewards spend while lifting tier-upgrade rates by 20%.

How KumoRFM solves this

Relational intelligence for customer retention

Kumo predicts the loyalty tier each customer will reach as a multi-class classification — learning from transaction velocity, reward redemption patterns, cross-category purchase behavior, and how tier movement propagates through referral and household graphs. This lets marketing invest rewards where they change behavior, not where they reward inertia.
