Conversational CX: Engage audiences with contextual, two-way conversations

Insider’s Conversational CX solution offers an extensive library of pre-built conversational blocks, empowering brands to interact with consumers in the conversational style they would use with their family and friends.

This solution reflects the changing dynamics of customer-business interactions, with customers now preferring immediate attention to their needs through two-way dialogues instead of browsing and clicking on CTAs.

“Insider’s WhatsApp Commerce has fundamentally changed how we interact with our customers.

Introducing the AI-native CDP for driving enterprise-scale CX orchestration 

Fragmented data hinders Malaysian businesses, leading to wasted resources and missed opportunities. Industry reports indicate that poor data management in Southeast Asia can cost companies millions annually. In Malaysia, this can translate to inefficiencies in areas like poorly targeted marketing campaigns and customer churn due to a lack of personalization. Insider has introduced its AI-native Customer Data Platform designed to revolutionize data management and drive impactful customer experiences. Unlike traditional CDPs that merely collect data, Insider’s AI-native CDP harnesses the power of multi-sourced data to create seamless and context-rich experiences. With the ability to process 4.5 billion data points weekly and generate over 14 billion AI predictions monthly, Insider’s CDP empowers businesses to: integrate data from any source, create the most comprehensive view of the customer, ensure data integrity, and leverage actionable analytics.

Boost product discovery through search results and category pages with AI-powered Search Merchandising 

Searchandising (from “search merchandising”) with Eureka means brands can now leverage AI to tailor search results, highlight the most relevant products based on shopper intent, and customize and organize search results to meet business goals via criteria or rules. 

These updates will help marketers make well-informed decisions based on available product inventory by promoting excess stock products or deprioritizing products that are low- or out-of-stock. Brands can adapt to seasonal changes faster by promoting products for shorter periods and then quickly disabling the defined rules, promoting the most popular and in-demand brands to increase revenues quickly, or promoting new products to ensure they start selling.
