2024 High-Demand Verticals

A Wildix survey of 1,000+ channel professionals identified retail, hospitality and healthcare as the top three verticals driving 60% of UCaaS demand in 2024. These industries face critical challenges and Wildix provides tailored solutions to address them:

• Retail (28%): Confronted with shrinkage, labor shortages and evolving customer expectations, retail requires solutions that optimize operations and reduce losses. Wildix’s x-hoppers tackles these issues with AI-powered theft detection, real-time frontline communication and operational automation.
• Healthcare (17%): Dealing with workplace productivity challenges, patient care demands and safety concerns, healthcare requires advanced communication tools. Wildix’s W-AIR Med and LifeSaver handsets offer real-time emergency notifications, antibacterial design and geolocation-enabled safety features, empowering staff to provide better care.
• Hospitality (15%): Five years after the pandemic, Wildix’s x-bees transforms hospitality with its comprehensive Salesforce integration and PMS automation via Fidelio/FIAS. It streamlines check-in/out, room status updates and DND settings, while AI-driven chat and voice bots accelerate bookings via call or web chat, recognize returning guests and automate service requests. By optimizing operations and personalizing interactions, x-bees enables the hospitality industry to deliver seamless, high-touch experiences at scale.

As AI-first cloud adoption accelerates and the UCaaS market becomes increasingly commoditized, Wildix is driving transformation across these high-growth verticals. By providing innovative, industry-specific solutions, Wildix ensures its channel partners have the tools to differentiate themselves, help customers scale, secure operations and enhance customer experiences.

"In a commoditized UC market, standing out means helping our partners break into high-value opportunities," said Steve Osler, CEO, Wildix. "Our WMS platform ensures seamless, secure communication, while solutions like x-bees and x-hoppers open doors for partners to address specific industry challenges, whether it’s transforming retail operations or empowering sales teams. We’re giving our partners the tools to lead and win more in a competitive landscape."

Wildix enters 2025 with robust momentum, poised to further disrupt the UCaaS market with upcoming product launches, including WMS 7 and advanced AI integrations while continuing to expand its footprint in emerging markets.
