What they do

Problem

Companies struggle to reliably collect, clean, and route customer event data across many analytics, marketing, and data storage tools.

Solution

A centralized customer data platform with a single API and prebuilt integrations to collect event data and send it to hundreds of downstream tools and databases.

Who it's for

Product, data, and marketing teams (and developers) at companies that need to track customer events and distribute that data to analytics, marketing automation, and data warehouses.
