Size Optimization: Intelligent size recommendations and fit analysis

Business Challenge

Sizing is one of the biggest challenges in fashion e-commerce. Key issues included:

• High product return rates due to incorrect sizing
• Lack of standardized sizing across brands and regions
• Customer hesitation to purchase due to uncertainty about fit
• Manual size charts failing to provide personalized guidance
• Increased operational costs from reverse logistics

These challenges reduced profitability, increased customer dissatisfaction, and weakened brand trust.
