Activities

To improve model and forecasting quality, you can upload additional tables that contain specific activities and interactions with your customers. These tables must each contain at least a unique customer ID, a timestamp, and an activity type. Additionally, an activity_id can be passed that links the activity to a specific action. However, this data is not required for an initial well working model and is therefore optional.

You can upload one or more of these tables:

  • Online activities (customer in login area on your website / click in email)

  • Inbound activities (customer calls call center, letters and emails from customer)

  • Outbound activities (print mailings, catalogs, calls from a call center)

  • Payment activities (customer pays an invoice, receives a dunning level, is referred to collections)

In order to make use of these activities in the modelling process, it is important that they are stored in the so-called event format (just like transactions). This means that each row in an activity table describes exactly one 'event' at a time with a customer.
