GNC Leverages Verint Experience Management To Offer Exceptional Digital Customer Experience

Verint Systems (Verint), the globally renowned customer engagement company, announced that global wellness brand, GNC is leveraging Verint Experience Management, as an investment in its omni-channel strategy, in order to provide consumers with the ultimate shopping experience.

Spike in health products demand

With more than 3,000 locations in the U.S. and Canada, GNC prides itself on meeting the growing and fast-changing needs of its customers. The company experienced a spike in demand for health and wellness products, especially those that boosted immunity, when the pandemic took hold in the spring of 2020.

Similar to most retailers at the time, GNC’s store traffic declined while digital orders spiked, all while the company had to transition its contact center agents to a work-from-home model. GNC’s ecommerce team was challenged with order fulfillment, while continuing to provide exceptional customer experiences.
