Here, we’ll discuss what you can expect from Qudini by Verint and explain precisely why we’re now in the perfect position to manage all your customer experience needs.
Why Qudini has joined Verint
Verint’s acquisition of Qudini puts us in a stronger position than ever to help retailers to choreograph excellent customer experiences and achieve long-lasting relevancy.
The combination of Qudini’s Retail Choreography solutions and the Verint Customer Engagement Platform will help brands transform their omnichannel strategies at a time when they have fewer resources than ever before. Brand leaders will benefit from engaging customers seamlessly via digital channels and in the physical store and branch environment through a single platform.
A recent Verint survey found that more than nine in 10 retailers are facing at least one challenge hiring and staffing customer-facing roles for the upcoming holiday season. More than 60 percent report issues finding qualified people to work in their stores, while 45 percent are struggling to fill positions in the contact center and back office.
While digital transformation is reshaping all industry sectors, banks and retailers have a distinct charter: to drive differentiated experiences with physical stores and branches at the center of their holistic customer engagement strategies.
“We couldn’t be more proud of what we have achieved with the incredible brands we work with.” Imogen Wethered, CEO and Co-Founder of Qudini says. “We’re so excited to now join the Verint family to expand our Retail Choreography vision further and wider.”
