Advanced Personalization 

Nacelle’s AI-powered personalization goes beyond basic “people also bought” suggestions. It factors in detailed product data—such as material, style, and origin—and allows for segment-specific controls. Rebuy Engine often requires custom development to achieve similar levels of granularity.

Intuitive Merchandising Controls

Nacelle’s built-in pin and exclusion logic empowers marketers to spotlight new arrivals or hide discontinued products in real time. This capability eliminates the need for developer assistance and allows you to adapt quickly to promotions or inventory changes. Rebuy Engine’s more rigid rules engine makes this process slower and more complex.
