Most businesses want to deliver the extraordinary service that makes their customers feel like the only one. But as a company grows, it becomes incredibly difficult to deliver this kind of service to hundreds, thousands, or millions of customers. Most businesses choose scale and efficiency over quality — and customer experience suffers. At Front, we equip companies to have it all — scale, efficiency, and quality, human-to-human interactions that lead to extraordinary customer experiences. And along the way, we make sure teams are working happier too. How? Front is a hub for customer communication that allows companies to offer tailor-made service at scale. Front looks and feels like your email inbox with a few very important differences: teammates collaborate in the same place where external messages are sent and received, and behind the scenes, robust workflows and integrations power the efficiency and insights typically found in a CRM. More than 6,500 businesses use Front to work together to send out the best replies faster, keep messages organized across channels, and always maintain a personal touch. The result is premier, personalized service that scales with your business — and a team that works together as one.

Citizen is a free app that keeps you and your loved ones safe. It is a powerful force for good that has already evacuated people from burning buildings, diverted school buses from nearby terrorist attacks and, in one instance, led to the rescue of a one-year-old boy from a stolen car. It is a truly unique proposition that provides you with alerts from 911 data that until now has never been made available to the public. The alerts are accompanied by live stories, real-time updates, and user-generated content to provide you with the information you need so you know what’s happening around you rather than having to wonder why police are on your corner or there are helicopters above you. Today, over a million people across the United States have downloaded the app and use it to keep themselves, their families, and their friends safe. Emergency services and community activists alike hail the app as a ground-breaking development in personal and community safety. 1 in 8 New Yorkers have Citizen, and the app has seen similar growth, usage, and engagement in LA, SF, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. This year will see Citizen expand across the United States with the express mission of making your world a safer place.

Trying to see a doctor today when you unexpectedly get sick is frustrating, inconvenient and potentially incredibly costly. You might wait days for an appointment with a primary care physician, waste hundreds of dollars at an emergency room, or need to juggle your life to fit a doctor's visit into your schedule. And once you finally get there, it's likely you'll still watch the minutes tick by in a waiting room. At Solv, we believe getting access to high quality, last-minute care should be simple, fast and effortless. You should be able to know where you can go, when you’ll be seen and how much it will cost. We're shifting the power in healthcare to patients, where it belongs.
