New Salesforce AppExchange Partners Fuel the Future of Marketing and Commerce

Today Salesforce announced new partnerships to expand its Customer Data Platform and Commerce ecosystems on the Salesforce AppExchange, the world’s leading enterprise cloud marketplace. 

  • Salesforce will expand its Customer Data Platform ecosystem through partnerships with Annalect, Acxiom, Criteo, LiveRamp, MediaMath, Metarouter, Neustar, Nine Digital, Streamlytics, The Trade Desk, Yahoo and WPP Resolve.
  • Salesforce will broaden its Commerce ecosystem through partnerships with Amplience, Avalara, Bringg, AppFrontier, Forter, and Poq.

Partners are set to debut new marketing and commerce-specific apps on the AppExchange – extending the power of Salesforce to enable customers to help companies drive efficiency, deliver highly personalized experiences, and build trusted customer relationships.

What’s the impact: Consumers expect brands to provide personalized, connected, and seamless experiences across each step of their digital and in-person journey. What’s more, 73% of consumers expect companies to understand their unique needs and expectations, according to Salesforce’s State of the Connected Customer report.

As we also move into a world without cookies, unique first-party data that is gathered and collected by brands with customer consent will be vital, providing an opportunity for brands to embrace privacy as part of customer relationships. The partnerships announced today will help enable any Salesforce customers across any industry – including retail, healthcare, and financial services – to generate trusted and highly personalized engagement with customers through actionable data.
