Who we are

The Schober Information Group introduces itself

Schober Information Group Deutschland GmbH supports its customers in the digitalization of sales and marketing.

The basis of all services is our unbeatable data universe with millions of data and billions of characteristics. Accompanying measures such as data merging and cleansing, the enrichment of customer data with Schober characteristics, AI-driven sales and marketing analyses, and precisely tailored advertising targeting across all channels are bundled automatically in the universal data orchestration platform – udo for short. A SaaS platform for all marketing requirements in digitalized sales.

CONCRETE:

We stand for data-driven sales and marketing support.

With our experience we drive innovation and with our solutions we create lasting added value for our customers.

Our self-developed 4-step method approach of the “Brahm’s staircase” ensures clear, measurable results. We develop for our customers the systematic development of their relevant target groups in B2B and B2C.

To achieve this, we start with the (stage 1) – the quality of the data in our customers’ systems. Afterwards it goes to the enrichment (stage 2) of valuable additional information from the Schober data universe. This enables you to perform AI-driven sales and marketing analysis (stage 3) on a completely new level. Finally campaigns (stage 4) are targeted at the right groups with the right message, more accurately than ever, via the right channels – postal, e-mail, digital – at the right time with the relevant content.

Schober also offers all this automatically in the universal data orchestration platform “udo” and thus sets new standards in data-driven marketing. udo finally makes the 360° customer view real, analyzes the customer journey in real time and ensures individualized customer interaction across channels – for a sustainable increase in your business success.

Schober’s strength clearly lies in its extensive data universe. udo combines customer data platform (CDP) and customer prediction platform (CPP). However, first-party customer data can only realize its full potential for best-in-class artificial intelligence (AI) and automated machine learning when combined with our third-party top-level data.
