    Customer engagement

    Understand and engage with your customers throughout their shopping journey and get a 360° view of all their engagements with you across all your channels.

    Customer profile, history, preferences that follow across channels, cross-channel customer sales reports, and targeted promotions based on customer segmentation enable you to holistically understand and respond to the needs of your customers at every level of engagement.

    Merchandising

    Utilise a robust set of core product, pricing, and promotions management capabilities to meet merchandising needs for your business.

    Merchandising entities and constructs are consistent across channels and channel types, while at the same time allowing for channel-specific configurations. Best price algorithms automatically calculate the best price during checkout if multiple discounts are applicable.
