BOZEMAN, Mont., May 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Quiq, leading provider of messaging for customer service software, is proud to announce it has been included in the list of five "Cool Vendors" in the CRM Customer Service and Support report by Gartner, Inc.

Quiq provides a mobile messaging application for customer service organizations that connects agents and customers. Customers can now engage with customer service organizations via SMS/text messaging, Facebook Messenger, Web Chat, and Kik for help with their pre-sales questions and post-sales support.

Every year, the Gartner Customer Service and Support experts evaluate a range of technology vendors. The Cool Vendor report is designed to evaluate pioneering, interesting, and innovative vendors. This year, five cool vendors were identified.

"We consider our inclusion in the Cool Vendor report by Gartner confirmation of our mission to improve the way customers communicate with companies," said Mike Myer, CEO, Quiq. "We believe mobile message-driven communications will replace a significant portion of traditional phone and email interactions, reducing costs while improving customer satisfaction."

Gartner predicts that by 2019, requests for customer support through consumer messaging apps will exceed requests through social media. Quiq is set to help organizations support the mass influx by bringing humanism and empathy into CRM processes. According to Gartner, as customer experience and customer-centricity increasingly become a priority in organizations across the world and across industries, this method will be the new industry standard.
