FamilyMart Enhances Customer Experience with Google Cloud AI and Data Analytics
Use case typeShopping recommendationsUpdated Jun 13, 2026
FamilyMart improved ecommerce product recommendations and in-app search accuracy for its 18 million members in Taiwan. The challenge was to deliver real-time, personalized product recommendations and improve search relevance in the convenience store mobile app. The solution leveraged Google Cloud BigQuery for fast analytics, Vertex AI Search for retail to personalize search results, and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) for scalable and smooth service deployment. BigQuery shortens data query times from minutes to seconds, enabling near real-time product recommendation adaptation based on user browsing and purchase behavior. Vertex AI Search improved contextual understanding and personalized search relevance, increasing in-app search click-through rates by 4 times and feature adoption by 2.5 times. GKE supports autoscaling and rapid app updates, improving operational efficiency and reliability.
