Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform vs. SessionM

In any scenario where we have a unique offline and online 'Person ID,' we are able to see great results with profile stitching within CDP. In cases where we do not have a unique Person ID between datasets, we find ourselves at a point where we would need to change our architecture to have the same Person ID to see results.

SessionM is ideal for enterprise restaurants, brands, and organizations to build and drive loyal behaviors via technology platforms. They've built their system via robust APIs integrations, but are now diving into a white label app system that allows smaller brands (100 units+) to utilize their incredible technology in their own brand, as opposed to just bigger players. They're the best at what they do.

• Using data science to determine guest tendencies and actions: their system is incredibly smart and tracks historical actions to guess/estimate future actions, and creating programs to influence those actions.
• Integrated communication platforms to speak to all of our guests within various tactics—email, push notifications, text messages, in-app messages, etc.
• Loyalty management & CRM: creating and managing a program that runs consistently across the system.

Incentivized

• Some features that are not yet released to all customers are necessary to manage cases like device sharing
• The methodology of how data is stored and manage is relatively unique and requires some ramp-up to fully understand
• There are some areas, like deduplication, where the platform doesn't provide the flexibility one would expect

Incentivized

• Some improvement could be made on their integrations process with all platforms (olo, monkey media, etc.).

Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform quickly becomes a must-have once you are through the "build it" phase. Direct integration with a wide variety of disparate systems makes it a difficult proposition to remove once users are trained in its various systems and fully bought into the strategy behind its use. Support for a wide range of teams is helpful in adoption and continued use of Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform - everyone in data engineering, martech, frontend marketing can find a use case to pursue.

Activation - great Segmentation - in UI, there should be the possibility of writing advanced code Tags. Both Mobile and Desktop Data Ingestion - might be pain in the ass. Changing one customer attribute is time-consuming. It should be some super admin or some feature. One user can change some customers' attributes easily. Data Transformation - Maybe there are some modules for that in AJO?

Its my favorite tool in the entire Adobe Experience Platform ecosystem. I thought that its important to be connected with your customers and the best way to do it its to have a really good description to reveal what they like and prefer, that's the most important thing, so that's why I like Adobe Real-Time CDP

SessionM was light years ahead of Fishbowl, in the data science tendency assumptions that are built into the system, plus they don't offer an app for your brand to use. You'd have to employ a 3rd vendor to manage that. It's also important to note that SessionM sees ALL guests and POS content in the system, not just loyalty identified transactions.

• Our work with SessionM has been so incredibly impactful to our brand loyal guests, and the value they bring to our brand. For example, our loyal guests are worth $100+ more than our non-loyalty guests.
