FREMONT, CA: Revenue intelligence platform leveraging artificial intelligence to go beyond traditional CRM and transform revenue teams, Gong, announced the acquisition of Vayo, an Israel-based startup specializing in data analytics for sales teams. As part of the purchase, the entire Vayo team joins Gong, adding firepower to Gong's award-winning data analytics capabilities. The terms of the deal remain undisclosed. Gong's revenue intelligence platform enhances CRM by automatically capturing the full range of interactions between a sales organization and its customers, including via emails, web conferences, and more. This enables the company to provide AI-driven insights from that data to drive higher revenue, more accurate sales forecasts, and better-trained sales teams.
