What happened?
Aggregates historical transactions, campaign engagement logs, and past support tickets into backwards-looking reporting.
Diagnostic Analytics
Why did it happen?
Investigates root causes, friction points, and operational anomalies that explain past drop-offs or sales performance.
Predictive Analytics
What is likely to happen next?
Combines connected customer information with machine learning methods to anticipate customer outcomes and trigger proactive workflows.
