Gladly is the radically personal customer service platform for B2C commerce brands. We are the only customer service platform built around people, not cases or tickets. This one-of-a-kind people-centered approach helps B2C brands turn customer service into a loyalty-inducing, revenue-generating competitive advantage. With Gladly, customer service agents have one lifelong, channel-independent conversation with customers and the context to build lasting connection and loyalty. We make customer service about customers helped, not about tickets closed; about having conversations, not about managing channels; about building human connections, not about deflecting contacts. Together these capabilities turn agents into support heroes who connect with customers and elevate brands. With Gladly, brands like Allbirds, Bombas, Crate&Barrel, Nordstrom, Ulta Beauty and Warby Parker have grown brand loyalty, added brand promoters and increased customer lifetime value while creating happier, more efficient and empowered customer service teams. Gladly helps commerce brands drive loyalty through service.
