Be more productive

1. Centralized customer data management

Insider unifies all your customer data (across multiple martech platforms) to create a single source of truth. We’ve built a trusted ecosystem of connectors and integrations designed to help brands do more with their existing tech stack from within Insider’s intuitive interface.

Instead of switching between multiple platforms and applications, Insider allows you to access all the connected platforms from a single interface. This eliminates the need to log in and navigate different websites or apps, saving you time and effort. It also has a huge, positive impact on your customer experience—marketers can deliver state-of-the-art CX, regardless of the channel, by centralizing the data.
