Since then, they have managed to achieve a lot of recognition in this area. With this expertise on the Hi platform, we will help our clients to attract more consumers and sell more through the digital environment. With this combination of Akna’s e-mail marketing system and Hi’s platform, we are able to better retain customers after-sales, as we will have all the information about consumers, to be able to offer more personalized interactions”, highlights Marcelo Pugliesi, CEO from HiPlatform.
