Prebuilt Analytics for Tracking Customers and Campaigns

With over 40 prebuilt analytics, this module lets your organization follow customer behavior and campaign status, and compare the two. Hence, you'll be able to see your campaigns' effectiveness throughout the customer life cycle, and refine your targeting and campaign activities.

This module incorporates a full set of the most critical metrics for measuring campaigns, and you can complement these with your own existing metrics. By monitoring these metrics automatically, it reduces an impossible task—how to track campaigns across many channels, targets, and incentives—to a standard function that yields rich information.

Maximize Customer Value

The module provides real insight into your customer base. At the segment level, this can help to reveal changes in your organization's competitive environment. It will also help individuals to gain a detailed behavioral picture of the small percentage of customers who are most critical to revenue.

The resulting insight can guide your organization to change its behavior toward acquiring high-value prospects with the greatest chance of success, and toward building customer lifetime value.

Monitor Key Sales Metrics

To improve sales performance, organizations need to find and retain more good customers, while staying within their sales budget. Many factors, revealed as key performance indicators (KPIs), can help an organization achieve this.

This module lets your business users track a range of KPIs—like unsold products, inactive customers, and discounting—and highlights their status. This gives your users better visibility of key business metrics, and allows them to take immediate action. With Sales Analytics, users can, depending on their needs, monitor a key performance metric against a predetermined threshold or time period, or run several metrics together.
