Front was built for the work Hiver wasn’t

Trending up
Dependable to handle any surge

Front’s platform stays stable when request volume spikes — no lag, no dropped threads, no operational risk.

Automation that handles the exception, not just the rule

Set up multi-step workflows, client-specific routing, and account assignment rules that Hiver can’t match — and update them as your business changes.

AI that coordinates, not just responds

Most AI handles the reply. Front AI handles what’s behind it. Autopilot runs the process end to end. Copilot brings full account history before your team types a word.

Designed for where your operation is going, not just where it started.

Buff enough to handle if you go viral overnight

Workflows that match how your business moves

Front handles conditional logic, account assignment, multi-client routing, and exception-based workflows.

Visibility across every team and handoff

Front gives every team — support, ops, client services — a shared line of sight into every conversation, with SLA tracking and ownership built in, not bolted on.

AI that coordinates, not just responds

Autopilot coordinates the work behind every conversation. Copilot brings full account history before your team types a word.
