Customer Journey Data Model

  • Browser

The Customer Journey data model can be used to store customer journey data and create visualizations. This data model allows you to do the following:

  • Create a Customer Journey for each product in CRM and link it to a Brand Plan
  • Assign HCPs to a stage in a Customer Journey based on where they are in the particular product’s journey
  • Define Customer Journey Stages with recommended promotional activities that assist users in promoting the product and moving HCPs along the product journey

For example, Bob Brown, a Brand Manager for Verteo BioPharma, wants to create a customer journey visualization that his team members can use to track HCP progress for Cholecap. He uses the Customer Journey data model to add four stages he wants customers to move through as they become more familiar with the product. Finally, he creates a page layout that displays the journey stages.

Creating a Visualization Using the Journey Data Model

Users can create a visualization using the data model and provided page layouts to track activities identified for each journey stage for planned versus completed or skipped activities, types of touch points (channels) used to complete activities, message delivery, changes in customer level of adoption, and HCP progression through the Adoption Stages.

If you need help integrating customer journeys with your specific business requirements, contact your Account Partner. If MyInsights is used to create the visualizations to view and manage the customer journey, you can define where in Veeva CRM you want to display the visualization, for example, within an Account Plan, Account page, or the Home Page and on which platforms.

Implementing the customer journey data model is up to each organization. There is no out-of-the-box functionality for building customer journey visualizations. The image below is an example of how the data model might be implemented.

Considerations

  • An account can only be added once to each journey
  • A stage can only be added once to each journey
