Our take
Endear offers retail sales teams a CRM, analytics and messaging platform to help open conversations that lead to sales. This "clienteling app" aims to help personalize the shopping experience, allowing retailers to digitally cultivate individual customer relationships.
With many brands and storefronts moving online, companies have had to adapt to new methods of customer outreach and retention. Endear is keen to present clienteling as a forward-looking retail solution, which can help businesses compete with the easy browsing and price comparison offered by giant marketplaces like Amazon.
Fostering clientele relations offers a non-standard, appealing and attention-grabbing way of netting a strong customer base, which is how Endear stands out in the space. It has earned substantial backing that will be used to fuel product development, enhance customer success and expand into new markets.
