What is a Tech Stack?
A tech stack refers to the set of technologies, tools, and frameworks that a company uses to build and run its digital platforms.
This can include everything from the programming languages used to develop websites to the email marketing software that manages customer communications.
Understanding a prospect's tech stack can provide valuable insights into their business needs, existing systems, and potential challenges.
