CANDDi is an example of marketing and sales enablement software trailblazing in a GDPR compliant environment. CANDDi identifies the visitors to an organisation’s website, fuelling marketing and sales teams with the business related contact details of people actively interested in the products and services of their organisation. Businesses can operate a marketing and sales function safe in the knowledge that their leads have pro-actively visited the business website – how much more of a legitimate interest could there be, than someone pursuing a company website?
While it’s true that GDPR is likely to impact many businesses and how they currently operate, however it also presents a great opportunity to bolster inbound marketing campaigns – a strategy that can bring new customers to you in a manner which complies perfectly with the new laws.
CANDDi is committed to open-ness and transparrency in all our GDPR (and any other issues) as we work through our GDPR compliance materials we'll be making them all available in this section
