[New York, NY, June 21, 2024] – Insider, the #1 AI-native platform for individualized, cross-channel customer experiences, has been named the 5th Best Software Product in the world with the most #1 rankings by G2. The news comes as it unveils its latest AI innovations, enhanced features, and integrations to empower North American brands and address the most pressing challenges faced by marketers and CX leaders in North America.

Delivering a truly engaging and unique customer experience per person at scale is the key to building customer loyalty and driving profitable growth. Insider’s latest AI-native product innovations reflect these changing consumer trends and ensure its impressive portfolio of businesses—including one-third of the Fortune 500 and companies like Adidas, Olaplex, Janie & Jack, Samsung, Estée Lauder, Virgin, GAP, Santander, Coca-Cola, and Singapore Airlines—gain immediate access to these innovations to effortlessly elevate their customer experience.

Disconnected data poses a significant threat to businesses, leading to substantial revenue loss. In the US alone, businesses lose $3.1 trillion annually due to poor data management. 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.
