A $100 Million Investment
Since 2019, Netcore Cloud has made several key acquisitions to expand its reach in the digital marketing space. It acquired Quinto.ai, a conversational AI platform, followed by Boxx.ai, an AI-first omnichannel personalization and recommendation engine, and Hansel.io, a real-time no-code product experience platform. Through these acquisitions and strategic investments, Netcore Cloud established a strong advantage over its global competitors in providing a comprehensive platform for customer engagement and experience.
In 2022, Netcore Cloud further invested a significant sum, around $100 million, to acquire a majority stake in US-based Unbxd Inc.
