01 · DTC experts
Bustly’s customer acquisition, product launch, customer retention and research experts have their own remit, working method and delivery requirements. They select Skills and tools for the task. That gives an ongoing brand team a consistent professional starting point across different operating responsibilities.
02 · Market intelligence
Configure the subject, supported sources and cadence of a monitor, then authorize collection. The saved monitor keeps source evidence and history available for later analysis. Experts can examine what changed, how fresh the evidence is and which sources are missing, rather than treating each research request as an isolated snapshot.
03 · Application permissions
Assign connected accounts and supported resources to the business group that uses them. Member permissions distinguish no access, read access and action access. The expert works with the current member’s scope, giving a multi-brand team a clear way to organize who can use which business accounts.
04 · Shared team Skills
Turn recurring brand rules, review steps and delivery formats into shared Skills. Members can use them in later tasks, while dedicated management access controls who maintains the library. This gives the team a reusable method alongside the context of each individual assignment.
