Batch is a modern Customer Engagement Platform built for CRM teams seeking greater efficiency, agility, and autonomy in orchestrating their omnichannel campaigns (email, SMS, push notifications, in-app messages, landing pages, Ads, WhatsApp, RCS, etc.). Designed as a no-code solution, it’s the only CEP that combines a seamless interface, intelligent segmentation, an interactive journey builder, all messaging channels, and built-in analytics. With Batch, marketers can independently create, launch, and monitor personalized campaigns — simple or complex — without relying on engineering teams, even for anonymous audiences. The platform is powered by a high-performance, modern data foundation: it connects natively to Snowflake/BigQuery environments or composable CDPs, and consolidates multiple tools into one — campaign orchestrator, email and mobile router, and data platform — while delivering a user experience built for simplicity and performance. With Batch, marketing teams benefit from a sovereign, high-impact platform and expert support to take back control of customer engagement, accelerate CRM cycles, and generate more value with less complexity. With offices in France and Germany, Batch supports over 400 clients across 25 countries — Le Monde, La Redoute, Oscaro, Lacoste, Manomano, SNCF Connect, Tagesspiegel, Sky, Leclerc, Intermarché, Rewe, Lidl, Le Point, Sephora, BVG, Leboncoin, Mobile.de, dm-drogerie markt.

Oktopost is the AI-led B2B social media management platform, purpose-built for enterprise and mid-market marketing teams. B2B marketing teams have long been stuck running serious social programs on tools designed for consumer brands and creators. The workflows dont fit. Analytics dont connect to the CRM. And the question every CMO asks: "what did social actually contribute to pipeline this quarter?" goes unanswered. Oktopost is built to answer it. It is a B2B social media management platform that connects social execution directly to pipeline and revenue. Marketing teams use Oktopost to publish and schedule content, run employee advocacy programs, monitor social listening, and measure social media ROI, all from a single platform built specifically for B2B organizations. Pipeline attribution is native, with deep integrations into Salesforce, Marketo, HubSpot, Pardot, and Eloqua. Social media governance, compliant approval workflows, and enterprise-grade controls are built in from day one. Oktopost runs on three AI-led layers: - Execution: teams move faster across publishing, advocacy, and engagement. - Orchestration: social programs run at scale across regions, brands, and teams. - Intelligence: every decision is grounded in what is actually driving pipeline. This is AI for B2B social, anchored in real workflows and measurable outcomes, never hype. Oktopost is built for revenue-driven B2B marketing teams. It is not built for SMBs, creators, or consumer brands.
