SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Certona, the leader in real-time omnichannel personalization for the world’s largest brands and retailers, today announced it has renewed its long-term partnership with Charlotte Russe, a leading fashion brand. Charlotte Russe and Certona will continue their strategic partnership to deliver AI-powered 1:1 personalized shopping experiences on Charlotterusse.com, in addition to their mobile and email channels.
Charlotte Russe first implemented Certona’s personalization solutions in 2012 with the goal of improving their customer experience by personalizing the shopping journey on their website. Since their initial deployment, Charlotte Russe has expanded their program and created a one-stop shopping experience across all digital shopping touchpoints including web, mobile and email.
In 2016, Certona worked closely with Charlotte Russe to transition to the Salesforce Commerce Cloud platform while simultaneously implementing Certona’s advanced personalization solutions.

The ability to optimize experience strategies by testing multiple experiences within any location to further individualize the shopper’s journey is key for our business,” said Sejal Solanki, Director of Digital Experience and Product Development at Charlotte Russe. “By extending our relationship with Certona, we’re excited to continue our momentum towards delivering a superior shopping experience.”
