RudderStack Profiles enables companies to unify first-party data from every customer touchpoint into complete profiles, build ML user features, and deliver powerful customer experiences

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — RudderStack, the leading warehouse native customer data platform, today announced the release of RudderStack Profiles for AWS Redshift customers. RudderStack Profiles enables data teams to quickly build complete customer profiles in their warehouse, generate user features, and activate them to deliver powerful customer experiences.

Data teams are often overwhelmed by the complexity of collecting and unifying clean, first-party customer data to create a customer 360 and drive valuable use cases for every business team. The process can take months or even years and cost millions of dollars. RudderStack Profiles solves this problem by providing tools for data teams that automate the SQL grunt work and automatically build a full customer 360 table natively in AWS Redshift.

With RudderStack Profiles, data teams can reduce engineering costs and reallocate their most valuable resources to focus on delivering customer data use cases, not plumbing or cleaning data. They can also improve time to value for critical projects by building on a complete view of their customer in their warehouse. Plus, they can say goodbye to inflexible black box SaaS and configure RudderStack models that generate a customer profile table in their warehouse.

StatPearls, a leading professional healthcare education and technology company, eliminated data silos and disparate schemas by using RudderStack Profiles to build a warehouse native CDP on Amazon Redshift. Now they’re able to use granular user-level data to understand attribution, accurately calculate LTV, and increase return on ad spend (ROAS). Since implementing RudderStack Profiles, StatPearls increased customer retention by 1.7x and nearly quadrupled ad spend while maintaining positive ROAS.

Story continues

“Data from RudderStack helped our team turn marketing into a math problem,” said Mike Sperduti, Head of Engineering at StatPearls. “We know that when we spend X on a particular campaign, we are going to get Y yield over time.”

Unlike traditional Customer Data Platforms (CDP), RudderStack’s Warehouse Native CDP does not persist data and is built on top of your warehouse or data lake. With the introduction of Profiles, RudderStack now has a complete platform across each step of the Data Activation Lifecycle:

• Collection: RudderStack’s Event Stream and Cloud Extract ETL pipelines make it easy to collect data from every website, app, or SaaS tool.

• Unification: RudderStack’s Profiles feature leverages our standardized schemas to significantly reduce the time it takes to build a complete view of the customer, including an identity graph and rich customer features.

• Activation: RudderStack’s Reverse ETL pipeline, real-time Profiles API, and 200+ integrations deliver complete customer profiles and user features to downstream destinations to trigger marketing automation, drive real-time analytics, or deliver personalized experiences.

“We’re excited to bring RudderStack Profiles to AWS Redshift. When Redshift users combine Profiles with our data collection and activation features, they can start driving better business outcomes with their customer data faster,” said Soumyadeb Mitra, Founder and CEO of RudderStack. “Profiles enables data teams to take full advantage of Amazon Redshift’s secure, reliable, easily scalable data warehouse while harnessing the power and flexibility of RudderStack’s Warehouse Native Customer Data Platform to deliver revenue growth and reduce cost.”

RudderStack and AWS are excited to see the success that customers have already achieved with RudderStack Profiles and look forward to helping more customers drive better business outcomes with their customer data.

Plymouth Meeting, PA, Sept. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AVE, a residential real estate brand specializing in elevated apartment living, announced this week its 8thAnnual Resident Appreciation Week theme “Immerse Yourself” in partnership with Sprig by Kohler, a new wellness and self-care brand from Kohler.

AVE Resident Appreciation Week is a tradition that the community-oriented apartment brand launched in 2015. “We know our residents have so many choices as to where to live, and we just go all out this week to say thank you for choosing AVE,” says Lea Anne Welsh, president of AVE and COO of Korman Communities. “Resident Appreciation Week is definitely our favorite week of the year because we get to take care of and spend time with our residents, which is what we’re most passionate about!” 

AVE has partnered with Sprig this year to offer product giveaways to residents throughout the week. Sprig, which launched in 2022, designs products that harness the power of water to create elevated, self-care spa experiences at home. Kohler has been outfitting AVE apartment and amenity spaces with plumbing fixtures since 2015, and the partnership with Sprig is a complementary evolution of that relationship. 

When Sprig was started, its goal was to transform daily routines into well-being rituals through aromatherapy and wellness products that enhance experiences throughout the home. Stephanie Krickeberg, managing director of Sprig by Kohler, saw a perfect match between Sprig and AVE. “AVE’s focus on enhancing their residents’ experiences within their communities resonated with our core brand focus. We seek to deliver clean, natural, immersive experiences that de-stress and deliver joy. We couldn’t be better aligned.” 

In 2015, Paul DeFruscio, SVP, Asset for AVE, was searching for supplier partners who could simplify the process for AVE’s growing portfolio. “Both of our brands are aligned in values and vision,” says DeFruscio. “Kohler Co. understands our goals with respect to delivering a quality, inspiring, and innovative living experience. Their involvement in AVE Resident Appreciation Week illustrates how our partnership is so much more than plumbing fixtures.”

The “Immerse Yourself” theme for this year’s AVE Resident Appreciation Week complements Sprig’s water-driven product line. The theme also will be activated by the apartment community teams who are producing a lineup of events for residents focused on the senses and community engagement.  

About AVE and Korman Communities

AVE specializes in elevated apartment living for discerning renters and individuals who need a flexible living option whether it be for business or personal lifestyle. The hospitality- and lifestyle-driven brand professionally manages state-of-the-art residential communities in New Jersey, the Greater Philadelphia Area, the East Bay of San Francisco, Texas, Arizona, and Florida, with many locations in the works, featuring unprecedented resort and business amenities and award-winning service teams.  

Korman Communities is a fully integrated, fifth-generation, 100-year-old real estate company with development, management, asset, marketing, and financial capabilities operating throughout the United States and in London. The portfolio is comprised of two brands – AVE (aveliving.com) best-in-class, multi-family residential communities and AKA (stayaka.com) luxury hotel accommodations. For more information, visit www.korman.com. 

About Sprig by Kohler

Their clever shower infusion system supercharges the power of water with natural botanicals and skincare superstars like hyaluronic acid to create experiences that are anything but ordinary. Sprig’s primary aim is to help you expand your moments and magnify your frames of mind, so whether you’re ramping up to start the day, winding down at the end of it, or looking to boost your routine in-between, Sprig is here to bring you back to center.

Earlier this year, when Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson named Lynn McBee as his workforce czar, he said that boosting workforce development efforts in the city was a “top mayoral priority.” On Monday, a partnership was announced to help with that.

Dallas startup UpSmith and American Residential Services are leading efforts to create “high-purpose, high-pay, high-dignity career opportunities” across Texas for aspiring HVAC technicians through a paid training program that leads to real jobs.

“Our mission is to combat the U.S. skill crisis,” said UpSmith’s CEO and founder, Wyatt Smith, adding that they have a big challenge with more than 1 million job openings in Texas. “To take on those roles and expand, we need a new way of working.”

Through UpSmith’s technology platform — UpSmith.com — which connects talent with employers seeking to identify, qualify, staff and retain skilled tradespeople, ARS, the nation’s largest provider of residential heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning services, is sponsoring candidates to earn credentials as HVAC technicians via paid 8-week training boot camps.

According to Smith, those who complete the program will be offered jobs paying $20-$25 per hour.

“Texas is a proving ground for how to create fast, affordable pathways to jobs of the future,” he said. “Our platforms are open for business.”

“We are excited to announce our partnership with UpSmith in addressing the skilled worker shortage across Dallas and Houston,” said Chris Snow, ARS’ chief human resource officer. “With their support, we will be able to provide enhanced services to our valued customers and communities. The ARS network is proud to pioneer these paid on-ramps to welcome new, hard-working talent into our industry. In addition to creating home services careers, we are inviting bright, ambitious young men and women to build fulfilling careers in a rapidly advancing market.”

McBee said she and Mayor Johnson are “hyper-focused” and working hard to help more Dallas residents move out of poverty. Solutions include providing opportunities for upward mobility and investing in people reaching their fullest potential.

“Workforce Dallas is committed to helping up to 10,000 residents a year upskill for jobs of the future. UpSmith’s tech platform provides a needed link to employers,” she said. “I am pleased UpSmith is launching its workforce training endeavor in North Texas to create pathways for Metroplex residents to gain high-demand credentials in the skilled professions.”

CitySquare Chief Programs Officer Nadia Salibi underscored the value of the partnership.

“At CitySquare, our programs address inequality in access to housing, food, health care, legal services, and employment opportunities,” she said. “As we strive to remove obstacles for so many of our neighbors, we are excited to partner with UpSmith and empower our neighbors through training that can secure better pay and a rewarding, sustainable career.”

Darren Green shared his experience with the training. The former Marine said he went through an identity crisis and needed to find a niche to direct his drive and sense of purpose.

Because he enjoyed working with his hands, and he saw an opportunity for growth, he signed up, graduated from HVAC school and is gainfully employed, doing something that is providing him with many opportunities.

Candidates interested in careers as HVAC technicians should visit UpSmith.com to learn more and apply. Smith, the Upsmith CEO, said the process is simple. Candidates just have to upload a video and pass background and drug tests to be eligible to start in the next two and a half weeks.

“You’ll be a technician by the middle of the fall,” Smith said.

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday announced a new plan involving the California National Guard and other agencies to combat San Francisco’s fentanyl crisis.

“This is definitely a step in the right direction,” said Mayor London Breed. “I’ve reached out to our governor, I’ve reached out to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and others, and indeed our governor has responded with what I believe has been tremendous support.”

This support comes with an agreement between the California Highway Patrol, the California National Guard, the San Francisco Police Department and the San Francisco District Attorney to work together to combat the ongoing crisis.

Cooperation between all four agencies will focus on “shutting down the fentanyl trade and disrupting the supply of the deadly drug in the city by holding accountable the operators of large-scale drug trafficking operations.”

“Help from the National Guard and from the CHP to coordinate and work with our police and prosecutors to help us address challenges surrounding our open-air drug trade, primarily in the Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods of San Francisco,” said Breed.

The announcement comes just two days after the governor made an unannounced stop in the tenderloin to get a first-hand look at the problem.

“We are taking action,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said. “Through this new collaborative partnership, we are providing increased resources and manpower to law enforcement agencies to address crime associated with the fentanyl crisis, hold poison traffickers to account, and increase law enforcement presence to maintain public safety and public confidence in.” to improve San Francisco.”

“We’re making arrests day in and day out but it’s really hard to hold our own and we need to get it under control and that’s what we intend to do. So we’re going to do it the San Francisco way with San Francisco values, but the help is badly needed,” said Bill Scott, San Francisco Police Commissioner.

He explained what the police are facing and reassured who is being targeted.

“I want to reassure the public that we are policing the way we policing, with dignity and respect, and working with our community,” Scott said.

Newsom said the effort would not criminalize those struggling with drug problems but would rather focus on drug suppliers and dealers.

Few details have been released as of how the new troops would be deployed and when that would begin.
