Its core product combines customer profiles, behavioral event capture, product catalog data, predictive audiences, recommendation logic, campaign orchestration, email delivery, onsite personalization, and paid-media audience activation.
It is more vertically specialized than general-purpose platforms such as Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Braze, or Adobe Journey Optimizer.
