B2C data and marketing work best when the conversion system is close by
Compare a B2C CRM and marketing automation approach with an integrated stack for store, CRM, funnels, email, website, booking and MCP.
Ecommerce lens
Do not compare campaigns alone. Follow the purchase lifecycle.
Product discovery, customer data, checkout, follow-up and repeat purchase should be viewed as one system.
B2C lifecycle
From first visit to repeat customer
01
Discover
The visitor reaches a product, landing page or offer.
02
Identify
A lead or customer record accumulates consent and behavioral context.
03
Convert
Store, checkout or funnel turns intent into a purchase.
04
Follow up
Email and automation react to lifecycle events.
05
Retain
Customer history supports segmentation and future offers.

Adstic Orb connects store, CRM, email, funnels, website, booking and MCP.
FAQ
Klaviyo alternative: frequently asked questions
Is Adstic Orb a direct replacement for Klaviyo?
Not for every B2C use case. Test the specific data, segmentation, flows, commerce integrations and reporting requirements of your business.
What matters most in an ecommerce marketing migration?
Customer identity, consent, suppression, event history, product/order data, segments, flows and sender configuration need a clear migration plan.
Why can an integrated store and CRM help?
They reduce some data handoffs between commerce, customer records and follow-up when the required capabilities are covered in one environment.
Does MCP replace marketing flows?
No. MCP provides a tool interface for compatible AI clients; marketing flows are predefined lifecycle automations.
