Customer Data Platform - Automotive

Get to know your customers

Brands want to create superior experiences for their users. This means collecting data across various systems to create 360 degree profiles of their customers and consistently deliver the best products. This can include transactional, behavioural and even third party data.

In the automotive world, as infotainment systems become more common in consumer cars, car manufacturers also need to be able to collect this data and use it to understand their customers better. This data can then be fed into a Customer Data Platform (CDP) to later guide personalised content and product strategies.
