Data-Driven Techniques for Quantitative Analysis of Customer Journey Mapping in Digital Commerce

Abstract

Understanding and optimizing the customer journey in digital commerce is crucial for enhancing user experience and improving business outcomes. Traditional qualitative methods often lack the precision required to capture the complexity of customer interactions in digital environments. This paper focuses on data-driven techniques for the quantitative analysis of customer journey mapping, offering a detailed framework for leveraging data analytics in this context. We discuss key methodologies such as web analytics, machine learning, and data visualization, highlighting their roles in quantifying and analyzing customer behavior at various stages of their journey. Web analytics tools provide essential metrics on user behavior, conversion rates, and engagement. Machine learning techniques enable advanced customer segmentation, predictive modeling, and personalized recommendation systems. Data visualization tools transform complex datasets into understandable formats, facilitating the identification of trends and areas for improvement. Additionally, the paper addresses the strategic implications of these techniques, including enhanced customer insights, improved conversion rates, and considerations for data privacy and security. Our analysis demonstrates that integrating data-driven methods into customer journey mapping can significantly improve digital commerce strategies, leading to better customer satisfaction and competitive advantage.
