Imagine a modern, moon-exploring space shuttle. It would have thousands of lines of code, all catering to the different scenarios and tasks expected of it. Similarly, on Earth, we have marketing automation software that also contains lines of code to cater to the many offers, user actions, orders placed and canceled, products browsed etc. These software packages make it easier for marketers to automate repetitive processes and measure effectiveness.
