About
Rokt is a leading ecommerce technology platform that leverages artificial intelligence to unlock value during what it calls the Transaction Moment™ — the high-intent window covering cart, checkout, payment, and post-purchase confirmation. During this moment, consumers are most engaged and most likely to respond to relevant offers, making it the prime opportunity for incremental revenue generation and customer acquisition. Rokt's core AI engine, Rokt Brain, analyzes real-time signals across its global network to deliver personalized, relevant experiences at scale. Its suite of products covers the full transaction lifecycle: Rokt Upcart enables in-cart upsell recommendations for up to 25% more revenue per customer; Rokt Aftersell and Rokt Thanks monetize the post-purchase confirmation page; Rokt Pay+ transforms payment processing into a profit center; and Rokt Catalog brings 1.2 million third-party products from 4,600+ premium brands into the transaction flow. For advertisers, Rokt Ads provides access to a performance marketing network where brands can acquire high-intent customers during active shopping sessions and pay only for measurable outcomes. Rokt mParticle complements the platform as an end-to-end customer data platform (CDP) that unifies and activates customer data in real time across hundreds of integrations. Rokt serves industries including retail, travel and hospitality, quick-service restaurants (QSR), financial services, and media and entertainment. It is built for growth-focused enterprises looking to compound ecommerce outcomes through AI-driven relevance, distributed commerce, and performance marketing.
