Following $6 million in series A funding from FirstMark Capital and others in 2013, the rapidly growing company along with its rapidly and broadly adopted product known as TriggerMail became Bluecore. But its function is as it was before the rebrand: an ecommerce focused trigger marketing product that uses email to retarget vacillating or distracted customers and grow online sales. Essential to Bluecore is customer behavior, assimilated in an automated fashion across disparate sources. Once…N/A

Bluecore is fantastic for building and sending email campaigns. They're also spectacular at providing insight on where your subscribers actively are vs predictive behavior. This is particularly helpful in sending the right message at the right time to the right person, all with product recommendations. I don't think they would be particularly appropriate for building something in SMS (we've found a lot of success with Attentive) and I don't think Bluecore helps much with social media analytics

When we have turnover in our photo taker role, this app makes training very easy. We have had trouble in the past with staff just not catching on with what features to take the photos of and what order to put them in, and the app walks them through how to do so. Our old 360 software was also a little difficult to use, and this app makes it very easy to use. Now we don't have to use several different apps to take our photos and do 360s

Bluecore impressed us from the start because of their focus on the email. I got the sense from SmarterHQ that they viewed themselves more as a segmentation tool. While also very useful, Bluecore made it easier to close the circle and take that segmented list all the way through creative process to the actual send, with a consciousness of how we secure the conversion. Since becoming a customer, Bluecore has continued to blow me away with their innovation and professionalism, leaving no doubt that we made the right choice.

vAuto Provision is very basic for photo taking. It doesn't walk you through what photos to take and when. It also doesn't allow for 360 photo taking. You have to buy a seperate cox auto product to do this. It also doesn't allow for photo background removal, you have to buy another product to do that if you chose to do so
