Introducing CleverAutomations: Ready-to-Use Automation Journeys for Recurring Revenue Growth

COLOGNE, GERMANY / ACN Newswire / September 21, 2023 / Cleverbridge, a growth engine for global technology companies, today announced the launch of CleverAutomations, a new product that leverages ready-to-use automation journeys and self-service transactions to retain and expand customer base revenue.

CleverAutomations seamlessly integrates with a company’s CRM system and uses a prompt-based interface to quickly create automation journeys for specific customer segments. The user simply provides their desired business outcome, such as “increase our renewal rate for customers under $10,000 ARR,” and end-to-end journeys – including email cadences and custom checkout pages – are generated using built-in best practices from 18+ years of eCommerce experience.

“Every technology company is looking for ways to improve profitability and do more with less,” said Wendi Sturgis, Chief Executive Officer of Cleverbridge. “CleverAutomations combines the power of AI, automation, and self-service transactions to deliver a truly differentiated solution that increases customer engagement while improving a business’s bottom line. It addresses a very real need in the market, and I can’t wait to see the impact it will have on our clients and partners.”

With one click, companies can localize all communication in 30 languages, bypassing an issue with traditional marketing automation tools which require the creation of unique templates for each language. Companies can also incorporate A/B tests throughout CleverAutomations to continually test and refine messaging performance. To cap it off, robust analytics measure engagement at each stage of the customer lifecycle and enable the initiation of automated or semi-automated interventions based on a customer’s health score.

ATLAS.ti, a leading provider of qualitative data analysis software, has been using a beta version of CleverAutomations for several months to streamline contract renewals and re-engage recently lost customers. Initial results have been promising, and the company has been able to deliver automations to its customer base in English, Spanish, French, German, and Dutch.

“We’ve had a longstanding partnership with Cleverbridge and their technology has made a substantial impact on our operations. Therefore, when we learned about the CleverAutomations beta, we eagerly embraced the opportunity to participate,” said Jörg Heckler, Chief Executive Officer of ATLAS.ti. “The results have surpassed our expectations. CleverAutomations represents a notable advancement from Cleverbridge, reinforcing its position as an industry leader. Leveraging AI to automate tasks that were once time-consuming and manual has not only boosted our efficiency but also enhanced the customer experience, leading to significant revenue growth.”

General availability of CleverAutomations is expected early next year. For more information and to schedule a demo, please visit grow.cleverbridge.com/products/cleverautomations.

HubSpot unveils HubSpot AI and new Sales Hub at INBOUND 2023

SINGAPORE, Sep 7, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The way we buy and sell is changing. From an unpredictable economy to the AI revolution, there's no shortage of factors affecting the customer journey. And more than ever, the pressure is on businesses to adapt.

As the customer platform for scaling businesses, HubSpot provides the tools needed to connect with customers and grow, no matter the challenge. In 2023 alone, HubSpot has shipped over 200 updates for customer-facing teams across marketing, sales, and service. At this year's INBOUND, HubSpot's annual conference and product showcase, the company is launching some of the most exciting and impactful products to date.

"We are experiencing a transformative shift with generative AI. Customer expectations are changing, and businesses now have the opportunity to leverage AI to drive customer connection at scale." said Yamini Rangan, CEO of HubSpot.

"HubSpot has been thinking deeply about these changes and iterating quickly to help our customers thrive in the age of intelligence. We introduced many powerful new features and capabilities at INBOUND 2023, and I'm excited by our progress in becoming the #1 customer platform for scaling companies."

Introducing HubSpot AI: Platform-wide AI-powered capabilities that help SMEs grow better

At INBOUND 2023, HubSpot unveiled HubSpot AI, a new set of platform-wide AI-powered products and features to help customer-facing teams unlock productivity, harness data for improved performance, and create deeper connections with customers.

HubSpot AI is a robust portfolio of new and existing products and features available globally, including:

– AI Assistants: Generative AI tools to supercharge marketing, sales, and service teams. AI Assistants will work across the entire HubSpot platform to help teams draft content, create images, generate blog ideas, build websites, and develop reports – instantly.

– AI Agents: A set of AI-enhanced tools that help SMEs automate, respond to, and elevate their customer service across live chat and email. The first AI Agents will launch in early 2024.

– AI Insights: Predictive AI features that unlock better analysis and recommendations, like AI-powered forecasting.

– ChatSpot: Currently in public beta, ChatSpot combines the power of ChatGPT with dozens of unique data sources, like a HubSpot customer's Smart CRM, to give growing businesses access to powerful generative AI capabilities. Since launching in March 2023, ChatSpot has seen 80,000 total users with 20,000 prompts created.

"HubSpot's generative AI features have helped me unlock time and better focus on priority tasks," said Colleen McKenna, Demand Generation Manager at Frequence. "Even with my copywriting background, I use the tools to generate new ideas, simplify wording, and work through writer's block. I'm excited to adopt even more of HubSpot's AI-powered tools and free up time that we can spend connecting with Frequence's prospects and customers."

"It's our job at HubSpot to help growing businesses take advantage of new technology without any of the burden," said Andy Pitre, EVP of Product at HubSpot. "With HubSpot AI, we're taking the guesswork out of generative AI and giving all customer-facing teams across sales, marketing, and service the complete toolkit to help them accomplish even more."

New Sales Hub features and expanded relationship with LinkedIn give sales teams an edge

In the past, selling was all about doing more: adding more reps, more activity, more technology. Today, budgets are shrinking, deals take longer to close, and prospects are harder to reach. The default "more is more" playbook no longer works, and reps are feeling the pressure. In fact, 71% of global sales leaders say their teams have to do more with less.*

Being asked to do more with less means productivity has taken a hit. Instead of focusing on connection – which 88% of sales leaders say is the most important part of their jobs – teams are bogged down by administrative tasks. That's a problem considering companies who focus on connection actually grow 5x more than average.** Sales teams that aren't focused on customer connection are leaving growth on the table.

Sales teams need a better way to connect, grow, and win – now and into the future. That's why HubSpot has reimagined its Sales Hub with new capabilities, including:

– Prospecting workspace: A dedicated workspace for sales reps that consolidates prospecting activities into a unified experience, helping them organise their day, stay focused, and identify urgent tasks. By streamlining activities, the prospecting workspace (currently in public beta) will help reps increase efficiency and focus on customer connection.

– Advanced lead management and reporting: Now prospecting reps can better organise, track, and prioritise leads – enabling richer data and unmatched visibility for both sales and marketing teams. With improved clarity, sales leaders and their marketing counterparts can unlock new insights into lead pipeline efficiency and prospecting effectiveness.

— Lead reports, including lead source reports and contact rate reports (currently in public beta), give marketers insight into the impact of their leads and give sales leaders visibility into how their reps are engaging with high-value leads.

— Prospecting activities reports give sales leaders a holistic view of rep outreach effectiveness, including conversion rates and activity metrics.

– Intelligent deal management and forecasting: New AI-powered features enable sales teams to better prioritise efforts and predict outcomes.

— AI Forecasting (currently in private beta) uses HubSpot's predictive AI and historical sales to project future sales. Early testing showed that AI Forecasting helped some teams improve accuracy by up to 95%.

— Deal insights help reps prioritise their deals with ease by providing contextual insights into the health of their pipeline and sales process.

— Deal tags programmatically categorise deals through coloured labels and quick presets, enabling reps to focus on the right deals.

– Seamless scheduling and handoffs: With Sales Hub, no matter where an opportunity originates, the prospect will experience a smooth handoff to the right rep.

— Reps can book meetings on behalf of others, enabling streamlined handoffs between sales development and sales.

— Lead form routing (currently in public beta) ensures website leads are qualified and routed to the right reps, quickly and automatically.

– Expansion of HubSpot's relationship with LinkedIn across marketing & sales: Enabling sellers to be smarter and more efficient in how they prospect, build relationships, and close deals by syncing HubSpot's Smart CRM with LinkedIn Sales Navigator, with a private beta starting later this month. HubSpot Sales Hub and LinkedIn are bringing two critical data sources for sales teams closer together.

"For fast-growing companies like ours, it's important to have visibility into how deals are moving ahead and gauge where you'll be by the end of the quarter or end of year," said Kashish Gupta, Head of Sales and Customer Success at Volopay. "Sales Hub provides a hundred percent of everything I need from an analysis perspective. It gives me direct, actionable insights into how different channels are performing, how specific accounts are performing, and how many accounts have moved to dormant. All of these things are directly correlated to revenue, so this visibility is important."

"With buyer behaviour evolving so rapidly, the old playbook of adding headcount, creating more activities, and implementing point solutions to drive sales no longer delivers," said Dan Bognar, VP & Managing Director, JAPAC at HubSpot. "Sales Hub has been completely reimagined to enhance sales team productivity and foster stronger connections with both prospects and customers. From lead prospecting and reporting to deal management and forecasting, Sales Hub is the solution that sales teams need to drive growth today and in the future.

In addition to the launch of HubSpot AI and new Sales Hub features at INBOUND 2023, HubSpot also shared the following releases:

– Mobile messaging: HubSpot's SMS feature offers marketers an easy, instant, and personalised way to communicate with customers, allowing them to build stronger relationships and improve campaign effectiveness – all from a single platform. Mobile messaging is available to customers with U.S.-based SMS numbers for messaging into the U.S. and Canada, and globally with HubSpot's WhatsApp integration. (https://www.hubspot.com/products/whatsapp-integration)

– New Smart CRM customisations: Customers can now model, configure, and extend data with greater flexibility using HubSpot's Smart CRM, easily adapting HubSpot to better match their unique needs and processes. (https://www.hubspot.com/products/crm/customization)

Flojoy Announces $1.3M in Seed Capital From Flybridge Capital Partners, Boreal Ventures, and BDC Capital

MONTREAL, QUEBEC, Aug 29, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Today, Flojoy announces an oversubscribed seed round of $1.3 million USD from Flybridge Capital Partners, Boreal Ventures, and BDC Capital to disrupt the test, measurement, & control (TMC) market with its open-source, Python-based AI software. TMC is the bedrock of every research and development "hard-tech" laboratory and software enterprise. Over the past century, there would have been zero applied science and manufacturing progress without the invention of the computer and its application to sense and control physical spaces. Now, TMC UX will undergo a renaissance, building off of the last decade of open-source software innovation.

"Test, measurement, and control (TMC) has been absolutely fundamental to every industrial manufacturing breakthrough, but the software has been in the relative dark ages," said Jack Parmer, Founder and CEO of Flojoy. "Today's scientists, engineers, data scientists and business analysts deserve better and no-code software to scale efficiently."

Test, measurement, and control (TMC) and artificial intelligence (AI) are natural bedfellows. While TMC is concerned with sensing and responding to data from the physical world, AI is concerned with using vast troves of data to refine machine learning (ML) models for domain-specific mastery. Already, resourceful scientists and engineers are applying foundational ML models to textbook TMC use cases in every field: microscopes that ship with automatic object identification, computer-vision cobots that perceive and respond to their environments in real time, and oscilloscopes that learn to predict signals.

"Flojoy is applying the open-core/open-source model to software for heavy industry and deeptech. We're thrilled to watch them accelerate the world's largest R&D institutions with this approach – just like Jack and his team did at Plotly," said Hassan Bhatti, Partner at The Community Fund, a Flybridge Network Fund.

Prior to founding Flojoy, Jack Parmer led the creation of Domino Data Lab's Code Assist, a low-code capability to democratize advanced analytics using Python and R.

"Since founding Plotly, Jack Parmer has been an unstoppable moving force in scientific Python," said Nick Elprin, CEO and co-founder of Domino Data Lab. "I'm excited to see him continue to expand cutting-edge options to build and operate AI at scale."

At age 26, Parmer founded Plotly, the de facto interactive data visualization software for scientists working in Python and R, where he led the company as CEO through $18M in fundraising, $10M in annual recurring revenue, and created the "python code to web app" category, growing virally to 200 million software downloads under his tenure. Plotly helped to modernize numerical computing by making one of its pillars (data visualization) free, interactive, exceptionally well documented, and more complete in capabilities than most scientific charting software before it.

"With Plotly, Jack created a highly successful open-source data science company. The test, measurement, and control space is important to our fund and our portfolio companies, and we're excited to partner with Jack and his team on their next open-source chapter, Flojoy," said Charles Lesperance, Partner at BDC Capital's DeepTech Fund.

Flojoy intends to use the seed investment to hire more engineers to build out first-class Python support for over 700 benchtop scientific instruments and microcontrollers, which will usher in a new era of open-source TMC standardization. Its first major customer is a U.S. electric aircraft manufacturer. Heavy industry and hard-tech titans like Hitachi, Ford, Boeing, SpaceX, Intel, and Medtronics are all essentially TMC companies at their core and Flojoy hopes to help.

With Plotly, Jack has shown his ability to foresee fundamental trends in the open-source community, hire world-class talent, and build what is now a pillar in the Python community. Floyjoy expands on the same traits that made Plotly a success, in what we believe is a market ripe for innovation," adds David Charbonneau, Managing Partner at Boreal Ventures.
