It enables retailers and brands to run automated omnichannel campaigns across onsite, offsite (programmatic, social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Snap, Pinterest, TikTok), and in-store channels.

- Portfolio demonstrating radical rethinking of conventional software interfaces.
- Experience designing conversational UIs or chat-based workflows.
- Solid understanding of enterprise software design, making complex workflows simple and intuitive.
