Implementation of an Advanced Marketing Automation and Analytics System for eCommerce Platforms

The client’s existing Shopify-based website processes customer requests through built-in form handling and email notifications, but lacks detailed analytics of customer interactions. This limitation hampers the ability to track, analyze, and optimize customer journeys, leading to suboptimal marketing automation and customer engagement strategies.

• Enable real-time tracking, analysis, and segmentation of customer behaviors to inform targeted marketing campaigns.
• Integrate with existing eCommerce platforms to facilitate data flow and automation processes.
• Improve overall marketing efficiency by automating customer nurturing workflows based on detailed insights.
