  • Complex Customer Journeys: Customers engaged in prolonged research, comparing models, features, and financing options. This made it difficult to track and optimize touchpoints.
  • High-Value Purchases: Understanding factors influencing purchasing decisions was critical to minimize drop-offs during the buying process.

Ksolves implemented the Google Analytics Connector (GAC) for Salesforce Commerce Cloud, addressing the client’s challenges with the following solutions:

  • Detailed Customer Behavior Tracking: Our app captured key events like vehicle searches, feature comparisons, test drive bookings, and financing inquiries, providing a granular view of customer activities.
