What is CDP?

CDP, stands for Customer Data Platform, is packaged software that creates a comprehensive and unified customer database accessible by other systems to analyze, track, and manage customer interactions. Data is pulled from multiple sources, cleaned and combined to create a single customer profile. This structured data is then made available to other marketing systems.

CDP can grab information from online and offline sources such as websites, mobile apps, and email platforms to offer a complete view of your customer. After retrieving this data, a CDP can then help organizations predict the optimal next move with a specific customer.

This allows businesses to learn what needs to be done to retain specific customers. A CDP can also be used by customer service teams to cater their support to each individual. Email software, data warehouse software, and other platforms that store data can typically integrate with a CDP.
