Plataforma de Datos de Clientes

A customer data platform (CDP) is software that builds a single, persistent profile of each customer by pulling together data from every system that touches them - WiFi sign-ins, POS transactions, bookings, loyalty activity, email engagement - and then makes those unified profiles available to other tools for marketing, service and analytics. The defining features are unification (one profile per person, matched across sources), persistence (history is kept, not just the latest event), and accessibility (other systems can read the profiles).

CDP vs CRM vs email platform

• CRM - a system of record for relationships and interactions, typically populated by staff and sales activity.
• Email / marketing platform - executes campaigns to lists and segments it is given.
• CDP - the layer underneath both: it ingests raw events from many sources, resolves them to individual people, and feeds clean, unified profiles to the CRM, the email tool, and the ad platforms.

In small hospitality businesses one product often plays more than one of these roles; the CDP concept still applies - somewhere, one system should hold the joined-up view of each guest.

What a hospitality profile looks like

• Identity: name, email, marketing consent status and its audit trail.
• Visit history from WiFi: first seen, last seen, visit count, locations visited.
• Transactions, where a POS is connected: spend, frequency, favourites.
• Engagement: emails opened and clicked, offers redeemed, reviews left.

WiFi as a CDP feed

For venues, WiFi data capture is often the richest source of walk-in customer identity a CDP can get, because it captures consented contact details plus real visit behaviour from guests who never book online. Most WiFi marketing platforms sync captured profiles outward to CRMs, email tools and ad audiences - see the integrations page for common destinations such as Mailchimp and HubSpot.
