We are exploring the use of webscraping tools to enhance our customer intelligence and plan for outreach. We also want to enhance existing customer data for better segmentation and profiling.
What are your tips and strategies for how you utilised these?
Also what are the best no-code tools you have used as we want it to be a ability used by both tech and non tech teams to enhance their capabilities. Currently using octoparse.
