Ascent360’s approach to data consolidation and mapping

Understanding your customers and prospects on a deeper level starts with getting all your data into one centralized location. This includes customer information, purchase history down to the product/line item level, and general engagement information. As part of the data integration process, we align these various data points across your platforms, fill in gaps and can even augment missing information and enhance and grow your customer database.

The result: a singular clean view of your customers in one user-friendly marketing platform.

The below example represents how Ascent360 takes varying data points across different data sources and aligns to a single view within the Ascent360 platform. This process removes the burden of data consolidation and cleansing from the marketer as they look to leverage more and more systems in their marketing strategies.

Challenges & Marketing Needs
