What is Emarsys Customer Engagement Platform ?

A Marketing platform using customer data to provide automation, personalization and omnichannel campaigns.

What are the Key Capabilities of solution ?

• Customer Engagement Platform

just to name a few..

*Personally, loyalty seems to be interesting as after SAP CRM loyalty & yaas.io getting retired in 2018 I could not find much in (Hybris) SAP Commerce or SAP Marketing.

Here you can set up the loyalty program, Reward Points, Profiles and manage the solution.
