Official News- https://news.sap.com/2020/10/sap-to-acquire-emarsys/

Fascinated by CX and technology world and I am bringing up a short intro to the solution, which shall help you to start with.

Overview

Overview

 

What is Emarsys Customer Engagement Platform ?

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

 

What is does ?

Customer Data Platform collects data from Web events, Mobile events, Catalog, Customer DB, Ecommerce platforms, API and external data sources.

It processes the fully integrated customer data to perform Customer segmentation, Personalization, Analytics & feeds it to AI for calculations. Which results better analytics and more control over the business using ML.

 

What are the Key Capabilities of solution ?

• Customer Engagement Platform


• Automation


• Reporting & Strategic Dashboards


• Loyalty Wallet


• AI Marketing

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.

User goes on Strategic Dashboards and chooses “Get better results with Tactics” feature. System provides recommended Tactics (prebuild programs with nodes) to engage the customer at various entry points such as Email, Web channel & CRM Ads.
