The Short Version
Why we reach for it.
Without a CDP, every new tool means another custom integration. Segment collects customer data once and routes it cleanly to your CRM, analytics, and ad platforms, without the same tracking code copied everywhere.

Our Reviews
Do we need this if we only use a few tools?
Probably not yet, this earns its keep once you're wiring up several tools and it starts getting messy.
Is this a one-off build or ongoing?
A build phase, then light ongoing maintenance as your stack grows.
Can this replace our existing tracking setup?
Yes, typically we consolidate scattered tracking into one clean Segment implementation.
Does this work alongside GA4?
Yes, Segment can feed GA4 as one of several destinations.
