SNAP: A multi-channel solution for direct marketing, recommendation and smart targeting

Technology Reply supported Cedacri in the development of a multi-channel solution for direct marketing, recommendation and smart targeting, SNAP.

Scenario

For an important player in the world of banking outsourcing such as Cedacri, supporting customers with innovative and performing solutions is a fundamental part of business. One of the areas of greater interest concerns marketing, and in particular the effectiveness of commercial actions. Nowadays, it is increasingly more important to offer timely solutions, tailored to the characteristics of end customers, with the aim not only to improve redemption, but also to retain customers.

Thus, the need to create a platform that delivers advanced marketing services was identified, based on the Big Data and artificial intelligence technologies. The complex action scenario in which Cedacri operates requires special attention to aspects concerning security, scalability, robustness and performance. Moreover, the solutions must be configurable and customisable to meet a heterogeneous and demanding clientele.

Solution

The answer to these specific needs is SNAP: a multi-channel marketing platform centred on highly innovative technologies. Thanks to SNAP, Cedacri customer banks can take targeted recommendation actions based on the profile of account holders and on their interactions with the mobile banking, ATM and branch channels.

Today, SNAP is the most complete inbound marketing solution available: it integrates the most common channels and touchpoints and provides for a comprehensive logging functionality designed to analyse the customer journey and offer better direction for future campaigns.
