Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)

Your Data-Driven Control System for Customer Centricity and Profitable Growth. 

From a simple KPI to an intelligent data product: forecast, segment, and activate your customers with a modular, AI-powered CLV system that integrates seamlessly and intuitively into your existing customer data platform.

What’s True Customer Centricity? 

Companies today collect vast amounts of customer data, but often fail to use it effectively when it comes to prioritizing investments, actions, and target groups.
Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) — a metric that measures the total expected value a customer brings to a company over the entire duration of the relationship — is widely discussed but rarely implemented in a meaningful way.

Why is that? One major reason lies in the complexity of implementation: CLV requires the integration of diverse data sources, the modeling of customer behavior (including purchase frequency and contribution margins), and the introduction of clear mechanisms that embed CLV into operational decision-making.

Why Focus on CLV?

Studies show that companies actively managing CLV significantly increase their ROI. Case studies reveal that CLV-based targeting can boost campaign performance by more than 20% and reduce churn rates by up to 18%.

When used effectively, CLV unfolds its full potential: resources are deployed more efficiently, investments in high-value customers pay off faster, and retention tools and personalized journeys become more impactful. Sales, marketing, and service teams make precise, data-driven decisions with a clear focus on profitability.

Here’s What Our Solution Looks Like:
