Sitecore, with its modern user-driven capabilities, is an ideal digital experience platform that can meet the needs of today’s customers. Read on to find out more!
Customer experience has always been central to every e-commerce strategy; yet most companies have failed to meet customer expectations. One of the main reasons for poor user experience is the use of several distinct software solutions to drive customer satisfaction – which is not only inconvenient to integrate but also costly. As interactions become increasingly digital, digital experience platforms are experiencing immense adoption in 2020 across the e-commerce world. They provide organizations with a single, unified system to carry out e-commerce operations.
Integrating an array of systems and technologies such as CMS, web portals, analytics, marketing, search and recommendations, these platforms operate as a single aggregated solution, contributing greatly to digital experience management. Such integration enables comprehensive digital functioning of e-commerce enterprises while providing impeccable customer personalization across all channels. There are several capabilities that modern digital experience platforms offer. Some of them are listed below:
