3 Benefits of a Channel-Agnostic Platform

3 Benefits of a Channel-Agnostic Platform

By Jarrett Schmidt, Vice President of Sales

When it comes to your communication infrastructure, which is better: multiple providers or just one?

If you said one, you may think it’s easier to have integrated solutions on one platform, managed by one entity. And if you said multiple, you must realize one provider’s tech may not always be the best at everything.

Connected Customer Experience

The Unique Recipe for a Connected Customer Experience

Dan Gordon, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Development at West tackles the most common customer experience shortcomings for brands in a recent guest blog for Loyalty360:

  2. Identify gaps in communication between the two
  3. Prioritize next steps based on mutual value to the brand and customers
