Then you are watching a video on YouTube, Dominos shows its mouth-watering cheese burst pizza, you are tempted, but you still are saying no. Finally you meet your friend in the evening and decide to have dinner outside. Now the place on top of your mind is dominos and you hit the store. Well, Dominos got you! | ||
There were multiple influencing stages in your purchase and there are millions of people out there who follow numerous stages. It is crucial for Dominos to connect and analyze users’ cross-channel & cross-device behaviour and also connect online and offline behaviour. | ||

It also helped Dominos to connect their analytics and CRM data seamlessly to connect online & offline data. | ||
