Our 10 favorite tools to integrate with our customer data platform 

To make smart decisions with data, it’s not enough to gather a bunch of information. You need a system that organizes data in a place where it can actually be used. That’s where a customer data platform (CDP) comes in.

CDPs make it easy to connect all the tools used by your marketing, customer success, sales, and product teams within your martech stack. Integrating these tools provides a streamlined way to manage data, gain valuable insights about your customers, and make better decisions.
