Overview

Amity helps companies keep their customers

The software business is changing. Companies are moving to the cloud and selling their software as a service (SaaS) with recurring subscription fees and usage charges. In this new model, delivering customer value is critical to the long term viability of the business. Software companies are establishing Customer Success departments with professionals dedicated to customer adoption and retention.

The Amity platform was built from the ground-up to help Customer Success teams dramatically improve customer acquisition, onboarding, retention, and growth.

Amity is a funded startup with teams in San Francisco, Toronto, and Ottawa.
