A B2C Commerce merchant has multiple live sites across different brands and geographies all supported by Service Cloud and Marketing Cloud. Unfortunately, the merchant is having customer service challenges caused by fragmented views of the customer. Customers occasionally use alternate email addresses, make purchases as guests, and contact customer service anonymously. The Success Manager believes that Customer 360 Data Manager could help them solve their problem.
How should a Solution Architect describe the role of Customer 360 Data Manager in this context?
- Customer 360 Data Manager can be used to recognize customers as humans and extend existing records related to that human across connected systems with a consistent Global Party ID.
- Customer 360 Data Manager can be used to identify multiple records within each separate system representing the same person and assigning them a consistent Global Party ID; additional custom development is then required to relate those IDs between systems.
- Customer 360 Data Manager cannot be used across multiple brands within a single merchant environment because the customer as human view cannot support different accounts under separate brands.
- When Customer 360 Data Manager is provisioned, B2C Commerce, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud will automatically use a common core Customer Profile managed by Customer 360 Data Manager.
Answer(s): A
Explanation:
Customer 360 Data Manager is a platform service that enables companies to connect customer data across Salesforce apps and create a unified customer profile. It uses advanced matching algorithms to identify and link customer records from different systems based on common attributes such as name, email, phone, address, etc. It also assigns a consistent Global Party ID to each customer record, which serves as a unique identifier across systems. Customer 360 Data Manager can be used across multiple brands within a single merchant environment by creating separate data spaces for each brand. Option B is incorrect because Customer 360 Data Manager can relate the IDs between systems without additional custom development. Option C is incorrect because Customer 360 Data Manager supports multiple brands within a single merchant environment. Option D is incorrect because B2C Commerce, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud do not automatically use a common core Customer Profile managed by Customer 360 Data Manager; they need to be connected and configured via Customer 360 Data Manager.
