3 Industry 4.0 trends in Europe

Industry 4.0 faces challenges related to the energy crisis and the perception of unreachability for small and medium-sized companies.

Intelligent experiences: innovation as a way to increase customer loyalty

Virtual assistants and chatbots offer an efficient and personalized customer experience, anticipating problems and providing solutions.

Industry 4.0: a close challenge for SMEs

Spanish SMEs, especially in the industrial sector, have low penetration of digitization and need to invest in technology and change their culture to maintain their competitiveness. The Plan to Promote the Digitization of SMEs 2021-2025 and the European Union funds for digital transformation seek to encourage the adoption of new technologies. SMEs often have a distant perception of Industry 4.0 and make mistakes by thinking that it only involves having a website and storing data in the cloud. To unlock the true potential of Industry 4.0, SMEs need a comprehensive mix of technologies and a holistic view, supported by technology partners and data experts.

Are there differences between a CRM and a CDP?

Both CRM and CDP technologies are valuable tools, but for different purposes. While CRMs focus on managing customer interactions, CDPs focus on collecting and understanding customer behavior data. The choice depends on the specific needs of each company and sales and service oriented roles can benefit more from a CRM, while customer management strategy oriented roles can take better advantage of a CDP. Ultimately, it's important to assess what kind of information is needed and how it will be used to make more informed business decisions and deliver personalized customer experiences.
