The Kustomer Platform
One foundation, endless uses
Brands use the intelligence of Kustomer’s platform to automate and streamline processes, provide unprecedented insight into a customer’s past experiences and current sentiment, and seamlessly communicate across any channel, at any time. Outdated technologies have been weighing companies down by limiting their view of customers and making it difficult to connect customer data spread across internal and external systems. Using current available CRM solutions, companies are handcuffed to their vendors ‘best practice’ processes, preventing them from meeting their customers and agents expectations. Kustomer enables you to use out-of-box objects like ‘customers’ and ‘companies’, and customizable attributes like orders, feedback scores, returns, shipping tracking, web event tracking on your shopping cart, or if a customer is a Gold or Platinum frequent flyer.
