Plumb5 Mobile Marketing is built around an SDK for discovering, planning, and managing a mobile app portfolio. It tracks activity across users, devices, sessions, events, and geolocation, and supports personalized messages, in-app chat, push notifications, and geofenced campaigns. Its message designer creates native banners and forms, while a rule engine and behavior parameters support standard, deferred, and contextual deep links from messages. The SDK tracks mobile apps; web scripts track visitors using mobile browsers. Plumb5 says a unified customer view can incorporate CRM, ecommerce, call center, and POS data, and its API can read marketing data or post data back to associate with unified records. Deployment options are on-demand SaaS and on-premise PaaS; for the latter, the client or vendor manages infrastructure while Plumb5 manages the application. SaaS subscriptions are called LITE and PRO, with prices based on impressions, records, or page views. Specific prices are not shown, and a free 15-day trial is offered. The listed platforms are Android, iOS, and web.
