How Intercom Helps You Understand and Grow Your Customers

How Well Do You Really Know Your Customers?

Ever wonder how your customers navigate your website? Which content catches their eye? Or how effective your ads and SEO are at converting visitors? Knowing these details can transform your business, and that’s where a Customer Data Platform (CDP) like Intercom makes all the difference.

As New Zealand’s exclusive Intercom partner, Verum has seen firsthand how businesses can use this tool to connect with customers, gain insights, and create personalised experiences that resonate. Intercom isn’t just a live chat tool - it’s your customer journey’s co-pilot, helping you monitor, guide, and grow every interaction from first click to lifelong loyalty.

What Exactly is Intercom?

At its core, Intercom is an advanced communication platform with the power of a Customer Data Platform (CDP). It captures, organises, and leverages customer data effectively, streamlining your customer interactions, and enabling seamless and insightful engagement.

Imagine being able to track a visitor from their very first site visit, understand their interests, assist them as they decide, and then continue to nurture that relationship after the purchase. With features like live chat, automated messaging, and self-service support, Intercom ensures your customers feel valued at every step.
