Manager Implementation

Gorgias' journey began in Paris in 2015, founded by Romain Lapeyre and Alex Plugaru. Initially, it was conceived as a simple Chrome extension designed to help users compose emails more efficiently through automation. However, a pivotal discovery reshaped their path: a significant portion of their user base consisted of support agents. This realization led to a strategic shift, focusing their efforts on developing a specialized helpdesk solution tailored for the burgeoning ecommerce industry. Recognizing the unique demands of online merchants, Gorgias set out to create a platform that could centralize customer interactions from various channels, including email, social media, live chat, SMS, and voice, into a single, manageable interface.

With the backing of investors, accelerators, and mentors, Gorgias experienced rapid growth. The company expanded its team globally and established a strong presence in the ecommerce ecosystem. Today, Gorgias serves over 15,000 merchants, ranging from small independent shops to well-known brands like Steve Madden, Glossier, and Olipop. Beyond its core offering as a customer service platform, Gorgias has also committed to responsible business practices, becoming a certified B Corporation. This certification underscores their dedication to sustainable and equitable workplace standards. The platform is engineered to empower ecommerce brands by leveraging AI to enhance customer experiences. By automating a significant portion of support inquiries, Gorgias aims to free up support teams to concentrate on higher-value interactions that can drive revenue and foster customer loyalty. Their focus remains on providing a comprehensive, AI-powered customer experience platform that integrates seamlessly with popular ecommerce tools like Shopify, BigCommerce, and Magento.
