Vocap’s strategic support will enable us to help our customers realize their omnichannel, digital transformation so they can drive more profitable growth.”

“Media and ad sales teams’ performance has suffered due to poor-fit CRM solutions and out-dated order management,” said Mike Becker of Vocap Partners. “We were immediately impressed with the end-to-end, omnichannel approach boostr is delivering to the industry.
