Customer experience is at the heart of companies' strategies to stand out from the crowd and build lasting loyalty. A study by Forrester shows that companies that focus on customer experience outperform their competitors in terms of growth. 

A Customer Experience Platform (CXP) helps to improve customer satisfaction. It centralises interactions to deliver personalised experiences across all channels.

CXPs help to better understand the preferences and behaviour of each customer. They promote engagement through personalised communication and tailored commercial offers. 

The accuracy and effectiveness of these tools has been enhanced with the integration of AI.

Key facts:

  • A Customer Experience Platform centralises customer interactions to create a fluid, consistent experience.

  • It enables advanced personalisation across all channels, to strengthen engagement and loyalty.

  • CXPs focus on the customer journey. They complement CDPs, which collect, organise and activate customer data.

  • Artificial intelligence makes it possible to better anticipate needs and optimise omnichannel communication.

What is a Customer Experience Platform?

Definition and role

A Customer Experience Platform (CXP) is a solution that optimises interactions between a company and its customers across all touchpoints. 

It aims to deliver seamless, consistent and personalised experiences through a unified view of the customer journey.

The CXP uses customer data from multiple sources: CRM, website, social networks and in-store transactions. By integrating this information, companies can tailor every interaction to the specific needs and expectations of their customers.

It complements CDPs (Customer Data Platforms), which organise and activate data around a unified customer view. The CXP acts as an additional layer, to deliver an optimised omnichannel experience.

The differences between CXP and CDP

Machine learning enhances the ability of CXPs to deliver a personalised customer experience across all touchpoints.

The impact of CXPs on customer satisfaction and loyalty

Customer Experience Platforms are changing the way companies interact with their customers, building trust and loyalty.

Better understanding of customers

CXPs analyse data from multiple sources. These may be internal sources (website, applications, CRM) or external (social networks, partners, etc.). This analysis helps companies to understand customer behaviour:

  • Identifying specific needs.

  • Monitoring trends.

  • Anticipating expectations.

Let's take the example of a ready-to-wear brand that studies in-store and online purchases

A customer regularly buys shirts in shop but consults trousers on the application without making a final purchase. The CXP can then offer a personalised promotion on the trousers, valid in shop and online.

Personalised interactions

Thanks to a unified view of exchanges with customers, CXPs enable personalised communication. They strengthen engagement by offering experiences tailored to each individual's expectations.

For example, a mobile phone operator can identify a recurring problem reported by a customer to the technical department. The sales department can then offer the customer a new subscription or tailored options.

Optimisation du ROI

Les CXPs améliorent le retour sur investissement (ROI) en automatisant les processus. Elles augmentent aussi les conversions grâce à une communication omnicanale plus efficace.

  • Réduction des coûts opérationnels : les tâches répétitives sont automatisées. Cela libère du temps pour des activités à plus forte valeur ajoutée.

  • Augmentation de la LTV : les offres personnalisées incitent le client à convertir, revenir et recommander la marque.

According to a McKinsey study, 78% of consumers are more likely to buy from brands that offer them tailored content.

CXPs don't just manage interactions: they create opportunities for long-term loyalty and increased profitability.

Evolutions des Customer Experience Platforms en 2025

Focus on AI

Machine learning is revolutionising CXPs by making customer interactions simpler and more personalised. With predictive AI, these platforms anticipate customer needs based on past behaviour.

Le machine learning révolutionne les CXPs en rendant les interactions clients plus simples et personnalisées. Avec l’IA prédictive, ces plateformes anticipent les besoins des clients en s’appuyant sur leurs comportements passés.

Here are a few concrete examples:

  • Adapted product recommendations in real time, based on purchase history, online behaviour and trends.

  • Notifications to propose an offer before a customer opts out.

  • Intelligent chatbots capable of responding precisely to expectations across all digital channels.

Integration with CDPs for real-time data

CXPs rely on reliable, up-to-date data collected and organised by Customer Data Platforms (CDPs).

Some Martech solutions offer a monolithic approach, combining CXP and CDP in a single system. Although interesting, they often require duplication of data and are more complex to deploy.

Another trend is the emergence of xCDPs, designed to meet the challenge of large-scale personalisation in real time.

FAQ

How does a CXP use data to improve the customer experience?

A CXP uses data from a variety of sources, such as digital channels, in-store purchases or interactions with technical support. 

Thanks to a complete view of each customer's profile and predictive analysis, it customises the experience according to each person's unique preferences and needs. 

This makes it possible to offer tailored recommendations, offers and communications.

How can friction points in the customer journey be identified and resolved?

A CXP examines data at every point of contact with the customer. It maps the customer journey to identify repetitive actions or obstacles.

By pinpointing these friction points, the company can make targeted improvements to offer a smoother experience.

How do I know if my company needs a CXP?

If your business interacts with customers across multiple channels (website, shop, mobile app, social networks) and you want to offer a more consistent and personalised experience, a CXP could be beneficial.
