SAN FRANCISCO - January 9, 2025 - Narvar, the #1 platform for intelligent personalization “beyond buy,” today unveiled IRIS (Intelligent Retail Insights Service) and Narvar Assist, its first implementation.
IRIS is a layer of intelligent technologies—machine learning, data intelligence and analytics—combined with industry domain experience and fueled by more than 42 billion consumer interactions annually across the Narvar customer base. Narvar’s dataset, second only to Amazon, cements its position as the leader in intelligent, personalized post-purchase experiences. As the first entrant to the post-purchase category, Narvar is now redefining it with AI.
Powered by IRIS, Narvar Assist offers delivery claims fraud prevention software that provides scalable, data-driven tools to reduce fraud, automate claims management and enhance customer satisfaction, addressing a $101 billion problem for retailers. As the first and only AI application of its kind at this scale, Assist represents a major technological evolution—not just for Narvar but for the industry.
By leveraging predictive intelligence with unmatched precision and agility, IRIS enables retailers to anticipate consumer behavior, optimize operations and create hyper-personalized experiences that drive loyalty and sustainable revenue growth. With IRIS, Narvar is redefining the boundaries of post-purchase while paving the way for the future of intelligent retail and omni-experiences.

“IRIS is a transformative leap for Narvar, combining advanced machine learning and multi-model AI to deliver insights at unmatched scale,” said Ram Ravichandran, CTO of Narvar. “By processing billions of interactions, IRIS powers unprecedented personalization and helps retailers tackle challenges like fraud prevention and operational inefficiencies.”
Assist leverages IRIS to identify bad actors from high-trust customers and personalize the outcomes based on brands’, retailers’ and merchants’ policies. Retailers using Assist report measurable impact, including a 25% drop in appeasement payouts and an 80% reduction in service inquiries within six months.
