How Insider delivers Market-leading capabilities

Insider has been named a Leader in this report with the top score possible in 16 out of the 30 criteria. Let’s deep dive into a few key areas and how we help marketers deliver better cross channel experiences

Campaign Orchestration

The Forrester Wave report evaluated vendors for their ability to build experiences across 21 channels! 

I will let that sink in!

Customers are increasingly engaging with brands across offline and online channels and at the same time expecting a very consistent, seamless experience regardless of where they are. This is no easy task for marketers to keep up with this trend and we feel our customer journey orchestration product – “Architect” is purpose-built to solve this challenge. With a broad range of channels from onsite (Web and App) to messaging (Email, WhatsApp, Ads and more), Architect enables marketers to create journeys entirely in one single canvas. Marks & Spencer a leading British retailer was able to recover 15.1% of their abandoned carts with cross channel journeys by leveraging Architect

Customer Data Management

Every experience is as relevant and as strong as the data behind it. With our capabilities to ingest advanced data from web, app, eCommerce and offline stores, we make it easy for marketers to build 360 profiles of their customers. Our SDKs capture every single behavior to translate it into meaningful data on customer preferences and affinity. You can activate this data on any of the channels you are running through Insider or export profiles to any external platform. The Forrester report notes that Insider provides “the most flexible platform architecture in this study based on its localization and integration capabilities”

Predictive Analytics and Machine Learning

Predictive and Machine Learning are fast becoming the favorite of enterprise marketers. It helps you make better, faster decisions with AI. Our products ranging from predictions for purchase to churn (and everything in between), recommendations, Auto A/B testing and more are helping marketers deliver hyper-tailored experiences to their customers. Our AI is super simple to deploy and does not require any data science know-how and works in a similar way for both anonymous and logged-in customers. Maty, a leading french watchmaker, achieved a 6% uplift in their average order value by leveraging Insider’s AI.

Why should Insider be the #1 choice for enterprise brands?

The  Forrester report covers a very important area of Cross-channel campaign management that is becoming a focus for every marketing team. MarTech landscape continues to explode with more than 7K+ technologies including platforms that are purpose-built for micro use cases to platforms that are one-stop shop for a bulk of use cases. This report provides a great framework to evaluate the essential capabilities needed to run a cross-channel program and drive higher ROI from it.

Three things that we believe Insider brings to the table that makes it a leading choice
