The primary purpose of the Mulesoft Platform is to enhance the customer experience. A while ago, suppose you landed in a new country, you need a cab, you need cash, and if you don’t have the money, you’ll look for an ATM. To reach your hotel, you would need a cab and guide the driver with the directions. But in the current scenario, everything works on the tap of your fingers. 

Giving you an example of McDonald’s, I would like to explain how customer experience can be shifted with the help of Mulesoft. 

In 2015, McDonald’s missed its targets. To overcome this problem, they brought in Mulesoft to increase customer experience. So, whenever you want to order something from McDonald’s, the app offers you the menu, services, discounts, nutritional information, customer preferences, services as per requirement whether in my office/ home/ subway and so on.

The fourth industrial revolution is in action, and it connects everything, healthcare, financial, telecom, education, customer experiences. 

It is essential to understand the customer experience to create a 360-degree view of their experience. 

As per research, “Personalized offers are essential to attract customers, and it attracts around 32% customers as compared to other retailers“.
