Zoho CommandCenter
Zoho CommandCenter is an end-to-end journey management platform that enables you to discover and map customer interactions, orchestrate contextual journeys, and measure their performances. It is a power-packed tool to monitor, enhance, and optimize overall customer experience across the span of your business.
Highlights of Zoho CommandCenter

In simple terms, this will allow you to monitor customers record when they move, house when they stall, and measure when they complete.
So, with Stages, Transitions, Signals, Actions, and Identifiers at play, CommandCenter comes with following benefits for your business:

Key features in Zoho CommandCenter
To map customer interactions, construct favorable onward journeys, and measure traction, Zoho CommandCenter comes with essential and important features:
Path Finder
Path Finder is a journey discovery tool. It discovers all the journeys taken in your business and gives you a comprehensive visual of navigation observed in your business.
You might not know who your customers are yet and how they are going to navigate in your landscape, but you know about your business. You know your products and the list of touchpoints you have.
Anchoring upon this infrastructure, Path Finder can identify customers and their paths to discover journeys. It uses
- States to signify their progression
- Touchpoints to follow their interactions
- Identifier to identify and follow a customer
As a result, popular paths are diagrammatically represented using three reports: Path report, sankey report, and journey report.
Journey Builder
Journey Builder is a tool that allows you to plot thoughtful onward journeys for different customer persona. Based on the average-best of the journeys discovered using Path Finder, Journey Builder lets you guide your customers through a defined route invoking relevant actions along the way. It uses
- Stage to indicate the stage of the pipeline your customers are currently in.
- Transition to set the customer records in motion based on Signals.
- Identifiers to spot a customer in their journey.
- Actions to respond to customers and/or the business upon progression.

Journey Analytics
Your journey is a testimony to your customers' experience; in a way, the effectiveness of a journey and the result can be counted for customer experience audit. Thus, it is important for businesses to analyze their journey paths. Journey Builder itself comes with a heat map and other analytical charts to learn about the customers in the journey. In addition, you can also subject your journeys' variables set into reports to generate response-based analyses.
