Front

Shared inbox platform for customer-facing teams

PaidAdded Nov 1, 2013

About

Front is a collaborative inbox platform that combines the familiarity of email with the power of a helpdesk. Teams can manage shared inboxes (support@, sales@), assign conversations, comment internally, and automate routing — all within an interface that feels like a regular email client. Front supports email, SMS, social media, live chat, and WhatsApp. It's popular with operations teams, account managers, and B2B support teams who prefer conversations over tickets.

Origin Story

By Mathilde Collin

The Problem

Teams managing shared inboxes had no way to collaborate without losing the personal email experience.

Building It

Founded in 2013, Y Combinator graduate, grew to 8,500+ companies including Shopify and Lyft.

What It Means

Customer communication doesn't need to feel like a ticketing system.

The Dream

To make every customer-facing team as efficient as possible without sacrificing the human touch.
