As METRO redefines and accelerates its digital presence, the demand for a global marketing platform which enables business functions to unify customer data across organization and to deliver real-time consistent customer experiences across channels is mandatory. 

The aim of Marketing Automation is to offer complete digital communication capabilities for contacting our customers: customer journey management, real time triggered automation, multi-channel communication management etc. We are changing from manually selected offers to a fully automated refined 1:1 campaign management based on data interaction machine that drives sales & growth as main objective. To achieve this goal, METRO decided to use the Adobe Experience Platform, one of the market leaders for digital communication tools. As we are at the beginning of the implementation journey in the pilot METRO countries, it is the perfect time to join us in driving the process forward and rollout the solution in multiple countries during the next years.
