Why Segment Fits DPTR’s Human-Centred Data Vision

Real-time, governable data collection – Connections captures events from web, mobile, server, and IoT, streaming them in milliseconds while enforcing strict schema controls to block bad data at the door.
Enterprise-scale identity resolution – Unify stitches behaviour, traits, and consent into a single Golden Profile and syncs it back to the warehouse with reverse ETL for true bi-directional truth.‍
Built-in privacy & consent – Segment’s Consent Management API lets brands respect regional regulations and user preferences without custom code.
AI-ready predictions – The Predictions feature scores propensity to purchase, churn, and more, making it easy to trigger journeys before customers act.
Journey orchestration without code – Twilio Engage Journeys turns profiles into cross-channel flows via a visual builder, then self-optimises with the Intelligence Suite.
Serverless flexibility – Functions let teams transform or enrich events on the fly no infrastructure to maintain, Node 18 under the hood.
Warehouse-native partnership – Deep integrations with Snowflake and Databricks keep raw and curated data in sync, eliminating duplication and lag.
Proven resilience – More than 25 000 companies rely on Segment to handle over one trillion events every month, demonstrating battle-tested scale.

Core capabilities we unlock

Unified, trustworthy data

We instrument every digital touch-point, standardise events with Protocols, and stream clean data to analytics, marketing, and product tools at once.

Adaptive customer profiles

With Unify, we merge IDs across devices, channels, and back-office systems, then enrich profiles with AI traits and warehouse attributes.‍

Intelligent engagement

Predictive scores feed Engage Journeys, delivering precisely timed email, SMS, push, and in-app messages that reflect individual intent.‍

Privacy by design

Consent state travels with every event, giving you instant compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and Australia’s Privacy Act reforms.

Composable extensions

Functions and 450+ turnkey destinations push data or actions to any system commerce, loyalty, analytics without brittle middleware.

Our method

Opportunity mapping – Workshops surface the journeys where better data would remove friction or add delight.
Ethical data design – We define tracking plans, consent flows, and retention policies that respect users and regulations from day one.
Rapid prototyping – In just weeks we deploy Connections, Protocols, and a pilot Journey to prove impact.‍
Enablement & hand-over – Playbooks, docs, and paired builds upskill your marketers and engineers to own the stack.
Continuous optimisation – We use Protocols monitoring, AI predictions, and warehouse feedback loops to refine events, audiences, and messaging every sprint.

Cleaner data, faster – Brands report up to 80 % fewer downstream data quality issues after enforcing schemas with Protocols.
Double-digit revenue lift – Predictive audiences and real-time journeys drive measurable gains in conversion and lifetime value.
Minutes not months to new integrations – Functions and out-of-the-box connectors slash integration effort, accelerating experimentation.
Lower total cost of ownership – Warehouse sync and reverse ETL remove the need for multiple ETL pipelines, cutting infra and licence spend.
Scalable confidence – The platform’s trillion-event-per-month track record keeps performance steady on Black Friday traffic spikes and viral launches alike.
