Cyber Monday sales have become increasingly popular, reaching a record $9.4 billion spent online in 2019, an increase of 19.7% from 2018. In order to capture consumer attention and drive significant revenue on this all-important shopping day, organizations need to deliver exceptional experiences in which customers can move effortlessly between digital channels to get their issues resolved and make purchases quickly and easily.

NICE inContact CXone enables businesses to meet and exceed this expectation by helping businesses meet customers where they are, effortlessly.
CXone powered a 78% growth in digital interactions. Transactions in voice also increased significantly over the prior year with 30% growth.
