Omnichannel Marketing
Creating a unified customer experience across all communication channels to increase conversion and loyalty

Online and Offline Purchase Integration
A customer starts placing an order in an app and then completes the purchase in a physical store. The system recognizes them as the same customer, preserving the interaction history.
Personalized Recommendations
Based on website browsing data, a company sends personalized offers via email, and if there's no reaction, via messenger or SMS.
Unified Loyalty Card
Bonuses and discounts are accrued and used in the same way regardless of the purchase channel - in a brick-and-mortar store, on a website, or in an app.
