Phunware Inc (NASDAQ:PHUN) announced Thursday the launch of its Multiscreen-as-a-Service (MaaS) customer data platform (CDP). Phunware's MaaS CDP is cloud-based and includes software that aggregates and organizes customer data in real time across multiple touchpoints to create persistent, unified customer databases, the company said.

That data is easily accessible and consumable within core enterprise engagement packages, including customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation (MA) systems.
