Fullpath Enhances Customer Data Platform with Urban Science Integration for Improved Market Competitiveness

Fullpath's Strategic Move in the Automotive Landscape

In the ever-evolving automotive industry, understanding customer behavior is crucial. Fullpath, recognized as a leader in Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) for automotive applications, has made a significant stride by integrating Urban Science's defection data into its platform. This new synergy marks a turning point for dealers seeking to refine their customer engagement strategies.

Urban Science, a renowned consultancy specializing in automotive technology, provides unparalleled defection data, tracking customer purchase behaviors across competing dealerships. By incorporating this data into their platform, Fullpath enhances the depth and quality of customer profiles, allowing dealerships to adapt their strategies in real-time.

Enhancing Customer Insights

This integration aims to assist dealers in understanding when their potential customers veer towards other brands for vehicle purchases. Each day, updated defection data reveals insights on customers who elect to buy new or certified preowned vehicles from competitors. This timely information is crucial for dealerships looking to optimize their marketing efforts and retarget these lost leads effectively.

"The collaboration with Urban Science empowers dealers to gain insights about customer defection that were previously unavailable," shares Christina Rosenbach, VP of Customer Experience at Fullpath. "It allows us to transform this knowledge into actionable strategies that refine how dealerships communicate with their customers."

Fullpath's enhancements are not just about data collection; they’re about transforming that data into meaningful customer interactions. The enriched profiles mean that marketing efforts can become more personal, addressing specific customer needs and preferences directly, enhancing the overall customer experience.

Drive for Effective Marketing Automation

Urban Science’s defection insights are instrumental in driving Fullpath's marketing automation capabilities. The platform's solutions, such as SalesAlert and TrafficView, are already aiding nearly 4,000 dealerships by adding context to dealership traffic trends. Such insights help dealers not just understand where they are losing sales but also why. With these valuable metrics, dealerships can reevaluate their marketing strategies and service deliveries.

Joe Brown, CMO of Frank Leta Auto Group, highlights the value of this collaboration: "Tapping into Urban Science's data allows for real-time adjustments in messaging and marketing strategies. This is essential as it enables us to recapture lost opportunities and cultivate stronger customer relationships."

The integration is designed to facilitate targeted communication to engage customers, regardless of their purchase origins. Fullpath clients can now send personalized messages inviting customers for service appointments, emphasizing that the dealership is a reliable choice for their automotive needs, even after they’ve purchased elsewhere.

Features of the Integration

2. Data-Driven Insights: Access to real-time behavior analytics enhances marketing strategies, focusing on potential leads while filtering out inactive customers.
