At Limitless, the UK-based inventor and provider of a platform offering crowdsourced customer service, we have begun working with a host of major brands. In Europe, we are now working with Unilever, Vodafone, National Express, New Day, Wargaming and Daily Mail Group; whilst in the US and Canada, we are working with Unilever North America and Sun Basket.

The deals follow us completing a £2.2 million seed funding round in November last year, which was led by Downing Ventures and Unilever Ventures. Investment since our launch in 2016 now totals £3 million.

We are disrupting the customer service industry by enabling organisations to crowdsource customer support. We help brands find, manage and reward "crowdservice ambassadors." These people - often the brand's own existing loyal customers and employees - use our simple app to answer questions posed by other customers and receive a reward for resolving them. They can dip into the app at a time and place which suits them. They can answer as many, or as few, questions as they like. We call this CrowdService.

Our customers have already seen significant improvement, with customer satisfaction reported at over 90% and queries being resolved in less than 5 minutes. The brands are experiencing savings between 50%-75% on their support costs.

Megan Neale, COO and co-founder of Limitless says, "All over the world, companies are seeing customer service costs spiral and the traditional customer service model is struggling to cope. Customers today value authenticity and expect fast, helpful and empathetic service. When we launched Limitless, we wanted to provide a fresh approach, to make customer service consistently better for everybody. Our clients have already seen dramatic improvements in response times, customer satisfaction levels and a reduction in costs."

The CrowdService platforms, which are uniquely built for each client are assisted by artificial intelligence (AI). This creates a seamless process for Ambassadors, thereby offering a human touch to interactions while allowing the personality of the brands to shine through.

Brands benefit from using our platform alongside their existing customer service teams. Our platform trains its AI algorithms to handle increasing numbers of lower value, simple enquiries autonomously so Ambassadors can focus on handling higher value and more complex enquiries leaving a brand's customer service teams to focus on queries that would be impacted by data privacy.

Stan Sthanunathan, Executive Vice President, Consumer & Market Insights at Unilever says "We know consumers want more insightful and faster responses from communications with our brands, Limitless offers us a way to provide this whilst helping other consumers at the same time. We are excited to work with Limitless to help us scale customer services much more cost effectively across all digital channels on a 24/7 basis and deepen our understanding of consumer needs. We also get to reward our most loyal and passionate customers at the same time."

Roger Beadle, CEO and co-founder of Limitless, says, "The investment we've secured and the calibre of customer we've attracted in the past six months is supercharging the development and deployment of the Limitless platform globally. There is a real need for innovation in the customer service industry and embracing the gig-economy is a perfect way to do this. Our vision is to help every company deliver outstanding personalised service, at a lower cost - and by taking a CrowdService approach - give people who provide great service better rewards and freedom."
