Best marketing automation for e-commerce businesses in India

Marketing automation runs campaigns across email, SMS, WhatsApp and push, triggered by customer behaviour. Indian vendors in this category are unusually strong, largely because they solved WhatsApp and vernacular messaging early. For e-commerce businesses specifically, stock is sold across your own site and several marketplaces at once.

What e-commerce businesses need from marketing automation

  • Stock is sold across your own site and several marketplaces at once
  • Marketplace settlement reports never match your own sales figures without work
  • Returns and RTO are a permanent cost of doing business
  • Every marketplace has its own commission and fee structure
  • Ad spend and CAC decide whether growth is profitable
