Segment Alternative
The Segment Alternative That Skips the Data Plumbing
Segment routes data to your stack. Beseam turns that data into conversion outcomes: audit PDPs, track key UI zones, get weekly AI recommendations, and ship versioned upgrades safely with KPI monitoring and instant rollback.
Why CDPs Don’t Tell You What to Fix
CDPs solve collection and routing. Conversion ops solves action: what to change on the PDP, what to ship next, and how to protect KPIs after changes go live.
CDPs route events, but don’t tell you what to change on PDPs
Tracking plans and governance still require ongoing ownership
Data routing doesn’t create a weekly “what to ship” cadence
No versioned PDP ship loop with KPI monitoring and rollback

Works alongside your stack; focuses on conversion decisions and safe shipping
Tracking APIs/SDKs
Client/server SDKs for consistent tracking across platforms (implementation dependent)
No full event taxonomy required for PDP optimization
Governance and standards
Supports tracking plans and governance concepts (org dependent)
Provides a weekly ship loop with KPI guardrails
Identity stitching
Identity resolution concepts to unify users across touchpoints (plan-dependent)
Goal-based UI zone tracking tied to conversion outcomes
What to change on PDPs
Not a recommendations engine
Weekly AI recommendations + upgrade playbooks tied to goals
Audit + upgrade playbooks
Not designed to audit PDP readiness
Audit scores + prioritized playbooks you can approve and ship
Shipping safety + rollback
Outside CDPs
Versioned deploys + KPI monitoring + instant rollback on regressions
