Client's challenges
Before adopting Meiro CDP, DER Touristik faced multiple challenges, including:
Managing a multi-brand portfolio involves handling vast amounts of diverse data from several sources. Real-time price and availability changes across multiple brands result in massive data inflows. Offline branches, serving as crucial sales touchpoints, add complexity to the online presence, as customers often complete purchases in branches after online research. Additionally, there were challenges Der Touristik faced with accessing and integrating data from the in-house built CRM and transactional systems.
Creating unified customer profiles across multiple brands and customer lifecycle stages — while managing multi-device usage and omnichannel sales — required a sophisticated identity resolution layer that existing tools could not provide.
Segmenting based on behaviour patterns — adventurous vs. repeat travellers, advance planners vs. last-minute bookers — demanded flexible, real-time audience tooling without reliance on IT teams.
Connecting online behavioural data with offline transactional data across 250 physical branches was a fundamental gap preventing truly personalised marketing.
Solutions delivered by Meiro
Connection to core systems
We began by interfacing with DER Touristik Group's internal DACO database and their in-house built CRM systems. Subsequently, our integration extended to their Data Warehouse (DWH), ensuring a holistic view of customer data across core systems.
Tracking customer engagement across multiple brands
We tapped into their Czech and Slovak websites, including Fisher, EXIM tours, eTravel, Fischer, and Kartago. Events across these platforms were tracked and consolidated with the CDP to discern patterns in customer behavior and interaction.
Single customer view and reporting
Our identity resolution enables DER Touristic brands to recognize customers across various channels, offering a unified view into their profile with detailed interaction history. Meiro's advanced algorithm provided real-time, deduplicated, and continuously updated unified customer profiles across four different brands in one country.
Enabling no-code audience segmentation
Using insights from tracked events, we created custom attributes capturing key characteristics of their customer base. Non-technical marketers can now create real-time audiences — for example, customers who frequently read newsletters, prefer first-minute seaside deals, travel as a family, but are currently browsing city weekend getaways.
Omni-channel marketing activation
With real-time micro-segment updates, campaigns aimed at nudging customers toward conversion became more efficient. Meiro powers advertising on Meta, Google, Microsoft Ads, and Sklik. CRM teams leverage real-time triggers for email campaigns via SmartEmailing, and Meiro supports outbound call center lead discovery.
Meiro is an extremely valuable tool for us, whether it's data analysis or segment personalization. This tool has a firm place in our marketing mix.
