The Single customer view brings together all the up-to-date, actionable and real-time data you have on a customer and lets you instantly access it in one single location. Covering everything from Engagement to Ecommerce, the Single customer view enables you to gather the correct data to engage with your customers using one-to-one, hyper-personalised campaigns and content.


Before you start

Things you need to know:

  • Check you have all the correct permissions to make the most of the Single customer view.

  • By default, the Single customer view filters data from the last 30 days. Depending on your account package, you can edit the date filter to a predefined date range, or a custom date, and see up to one year’s worth of data.

To discuss your account package, contact your Customer Success representative.
