A fantastic Analytics CDP

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Amperity's CDP for single customer view profiles. It is one of the best analytics CDPs with a highly refined data model that provides real-time actionable insights. We also use it for real-time advertisement bidding by linking to the Google ads platform. Its unique ID feature has been really helpful in collating data into a single view from disparate sources.

Pros

  • Real-time insights are spot on with minimal millisecond differences
  • Customer profile creation is on point with very good data unification capabilities
  • Data ingestion from multiple sources and cleaning of PII data
  • The insights engine is highly refined even having behavioural insights capability

Cons

  • Campaign features need to be developed in-house for a complete, seamless CDP package
  • Message delivery and targeting features need to be refined further
  • Support for on-prem deployment and support for multiple hosting options
  • Improved service quality and more frequent feature rollouts

Most Important Features

  • Predictive modelling which can guess the customer's next move
  • Data unification from various disparate sources into a single profile
  • Support for zero-party and first-party data, especially since third-party data is getting sunsetted
  • Accurate loyalty analysis and churn prevention analytics features that provide detailed customer journey and next-best-action insights

Return on Investment

  • Increased audience understanding and segmentation capacity for profile building
  • Enabled better targeting for social media campaigns
  • Increased ROI of digital ads spent and helped attribute for every dollar spent
  • Increased efficiency of the marketing team by providing detailed insights

Pros

  • Very clean user interface that allows a non-technical marketer to set up detailed segments for outbound marketing campaigns
  • Lifecycle triggers that are automatically programmed to set up triggered campaigns. One of the big benefits here is that they are individualized based off of a cusotmer's past purchase patterns
  • Reporting and analytics dashboards are great and allow a team that is resource constrained to quickly gauge status of customer retention

Cons

  • Currently there are limitations with the number of personas that can be built in the instance, it would be great to have more flexibility here
  • We occasionally see issues with lists delivered to our ESP from the platform. Not a major problem, but could be an area of improvement

Return on Investment

  • Overall we have been able to increase the mix of triggered related revenue in email from 20% to 50% of total revenue after implementing Custora's lifecycle triggers
  • We've also seen one off email tests with incremental conversion rates up to 75% when utilizing Custora personas to personal communications
