Whisbi is a global omnichannel SaaS innovator. Its technology can synchronize a normal phone call with video, co-browsing, chat and tracking in real-time. As part of the unique customer experience, companies can automatically ‘teleport’ their online visitors to stores or showrooms, where sales reps can use the camera of smartphones or smart glasses to showcase physical products to web visitors via real-time video.
