At a glance

SAP Engagement Cloud, formerly SAP Emarsys, is SAP's customer engagement platform with a native loyalty module. It covers marketing automation, personalization, customer data and campaigns across email, web, SMS, mobile app, mobile wallet, ads and in-store, and its loyalty module handles tiers, points, rewards and loyalty campaigns. It connects to partner loyalty engines such as Annex Cloud and Mention Me for larger programs. It is a marketing platform rather than a sales CRM, and connects to SAP Sales Cloud and SAP customer data solutions. It is aimed at B2C brands in retail, e-commerce, consumer products, travel and hospitality, sports and entertainment, and media.

Questions to take
to a demo

  1. Which SAP Engagement Cloud edition would we buy, Emarsys Edition or Enterprise Edition, and what changes for loyalty features and contracts between them?
  2. Which loyalty program types and reward types does the native loyalty module support, and at what point would you recommend Annex Cloud instead?
  3. How is the loyalty module priced: included in the platform, by contacts, or as an add-on?
  4. Do we need SAP Commerce Cloud or other SAP products to get the most from the platform, or do Shopify and Salesforce Commerce connectors cover the same use cases?
  5. How do loyalty points and tier data reach our stores and POS for earn and burn, and what is the latency?
