To pull off unified customer experience management, the organization's team will need to consider a complete digital transformation. There is a vast growth opportunity to take advantage of with the help of a customer experience management platform. To deliver an outstanding customer experience, brands have to know their customer better than previously. That means creating complete customer profiles that help brands understand and measure their customers' journeys at every touchpoint. The more the brand knows the customers, the more effective they will be at offering relevant offers to them. The more relevant the offers are, the closer the relationship between the business and the customer becomes – driving metrics like loyalty and retention.
