Our take
Gladly is a cloud-based platform integrating multiple customer service channels into a single UI. It helps companies cater to the upward trend in personalized service by allowing them to communicate with their customers seamlessly across any channel from voice, email, messaging, chat and social media.
The rise in eCommerce has meant demand for services like Gladly is growing. To stand out, the company has focussed on building out its platform with new features. Most lately, this has included an AI and automation-driven customer service platform.
