Case Study
ZooRoyal relies on Ingenious Enterprise for a central in-house marketing platformThe customer
ZooRoyal
Today, its product offering includes over 10,000 articles and is delivered throughout Europe from Spain to Sweden. ZooRoyal’s mission is to make pet owners’ lives even better by providing their favourite companions with the best array of treats to be pampered anywhere – delivered right to their doorstep.
Their challenge
Getting marketing technology that is customisable to their own ERP and logistics system
Compatibility
In order to maintain full control over the business, ZooRoyal developed its own ERP and logistics system, and was on the search for a technology provider for its online marketing operations. The technology needed to empower ZooRoyal to manage its own marketing activities in-house and give ZooRoyal the freedom of adapting the software to its needs and have a seamless integration into its IT-infrastructure. This should apply from the integration of all internal data sources to the generation of reports and ratings according to its own defined KPIs.
Accurate tracking data
Like many other fast-growing e-commerce, ZooRoyal is active in countless marketing channels, both online and offline. Because of this, it is important that the new marketing technology collects all data accurately and centrally in real-time, so ZooRoyal can gain valuable insights in the performance of all its marketing activities in time.
Specific attribution needs
Additionally, ZooRoyal has clear preferences in the attribution of its marketing activities. For instance, ZooRoyal makes a clear distinction between first and assist-interaction, so brand keywords needed to be given a lower priority than display ads. It is also preferred that ZooRoyal can adjust the attribution time frame so only display ads viewed within x hours of the final conversion would be considered. Because of this, the marketing technology would need to provide the flexibility to individualize the attribution rules.
Multi-channel tracking
On top of that, ZooRoyal needed a platform that is scalable, both in terms of technological capacity but also in terms of support for foreign languages, currencies and tax systems, in order to support ZooRoyal’s growth and expansion plans.
