Uncover the Truth with Deep Insights and Broad Feedback

• Mobile push notifications to create rules and set real-time alerts

“Brands are transforming how they listen to their customers, now more than ever. Companies are adopting the ‘Power of &’,” said Riaz Raihan, President of Products at Alida. “On the one hand you have CXM, obtaining broad feedback and optimizing millions of customer experiences in real time. On the other, gaining deep insights from highly-profiled customers that are advocates of your services and products. When done together, the frictionless data flow between the two domains uncovers incredible new sources of value.”

Today’s release also includes enhancements to Alida Touchpoint and Alida Surveys. Three new critical features were released for Alida Touchpoint that help administrators design polls and pop-ups for maximum effectiveness with desired audiences including: Customized Social Preview, Situational Quick Polls and Logic Visualization.
