It’s clear that in the age of the digitally-savvy consumer, retailers need to rethink personalization from the outside-in. Retailers need to bring together their fragmented view of their customers across channels, personalize marketing engagement at every touch, as well as continuously optimize and individualized every customer touchpoint. This centralized, and always-updated customer profile data can then be leveraged to create the most accurate machine learning models, drive marketing analytics and insights, and improve business effectiveness — all in the hands of the marketer.

RichRelevance with Manthan together will deliver an end-to-end algorithmic customer experience marketing solution that includes the leading business-to-consumer Customer Data Platform, Retail Marketing & Merchandising Solution, and Real-time Personalization Platform with advanced data science. This comprehensive solution will enable brands and retailers to algorithmically discover new segments, target the most profitable customers, automatically test for and seamlessly deliver the most relevant content and offers across all touchpoints in context, and manage and deploy data science models and do so at scale leveraging AI with low-no involvement of IT.
