Predictions API

Know what shoppers need before they search.

The Prodx Predictions API uses the purchase dates of a specific product for an individual customer to predict when they might need to buy it next. It powers experiences like “Did You Forget” and “Basket Starter” carousels.

Why Repeat-Purchase Signals
Get Missed

Retailers often wait for shoppers to remember what they need instead of proactively surfacing products at the right moment.

Forgotten Essentials

Shoppers regularly miss products they buy on a repeat cycle.

Reactive Shopping UX

Most experiences wait for a search or browse action before helping.

Lost Repeat Revenue

When repeat needs are not surfaced, baskets stay smaller than they should.

How Prodx Predicts the Next Needed Purchase

Prodx looks at the purchase dates and frequency of a specific product for an individual customer, then predicts when it should be surfaced again. This API supports “Don’t Forget,” “Did You Forget,” and basket-building experiences driven by purchase timing and cart context.

Use customer-specific purchase timing to predict product need.
Surface likely next-needed items before the shopper searches.
Power “Did You Forget” and “Basket Starter” modules.
Use timing windows to avoid recommending too early or too late.
Increase repeat purchase relevance using real behavior, not guesswork.

Measurable Impact

Predictive timing helps retailers recover repeat-purchase opportunities by surfacing the right product at the moment it is most likely needed.

Higher

Repeat Purchase Capture

Shoppers are reminded before the need is missed.

Better

Basket Completion
