Customer Data Platform (CDP) is a piece of software that collects, combines 1st party data (customer own) from multiple sources to create a single view of your customers and make it accessible to other systems. That database with customers can be segmented and activated in more personalized campaigns. The brand new data source introduced to CDPs, that differentiate the tool from classic CRMs are behavioural data acquired from web pages, mobile apps, and number of other internet connected devices.
The CDP captures data from multiple systems and creates a comprehensive view of each customer. It links information related to the same customer, and helps to track behavior over time. CDPs can work with data gathered by a company’s own systems and stitch them with external technologies to reach them there.
Types of CDP
One of the roles of CDPs is to restructure data, and calculate values to captured data. There are varied CDP types available on the market today. Learn more here.
