Your competitors are already automating. Here's the data.

Retail and ecommerce teams using AI for customer service are resolving 40-60% more tickets without more staff, cutting cost-per-ticket by 30%+, and handling seasonal spikes 3x faster.

Gladly handles the predictable volume, FAQs, routing, returns, order status, while your team focuses on customers who need a human touch. The result? Better experiences. Lower costs. Real competitive advantage. Ready to see what's possible for your business?

Hotel Wi-Fi Is a Hacker’s Playground

Man-in-the-middle attacks, fake portals, and packet sniffing happen daily. Travelers connect without VPN, transmit credentials, and expose internal apps to public networks.

Most orgs don’t audit devices after return. Malware, spyware, or rogue configurations persist. A compromised endpoint abroad becomes a beachhead at home.
