The challenge: scaling support with less manual work

Thrive supports thousands of SMB and mid-market customers across multiple industries, managing their IT environments and providing specialized cybersecurity, AI, cloud, and managed services. As its customer base grew, Thrive needed to scale support quality without proportionally increasing manual work and escalations. Traditional ticketing workflows were creating delays, handoffs between teams and customer engineering resources, and preventing Thrive from delivering the responsiveness clients demand.

The solution: AI-powered customer service experience

To grow managed services offerings and deliver better IT support with less manual effort, Thrive first built its NextGen Platform on the ServiceNow AI Platform using Technology Provider Service Management (TPSM). TPSM is the Service CRM for technology providers and includes Service Exchange for real-time customer collaboration. From there, Thrive deployed AI agents to power work autonomously so customers received faster service and Thrive’s service teams could focus on the most critical cases.

Now, Thrive can centralize customer service, triage incidents at first contact, and provide engineers with complete visibility into customer environments – routing more than 315,000 tasks every six months using AI automation, saving 21,000 hours of manual work while improving every customer-facing business metric.

Key outcomes include:

"We wanted a technology partner that could scale with our business. ServiceNow was a perfect match," says Scott Steele, Chief Operating Officer. "Our decision paid off and we're now delivering more effective services, faster, to help customers grow. We aim to use automation as much as we can to make our engineers' lives easier and bring better value to our customers."

"Customers demand support that responds and resolves at machine speed, without waiting for escalations. Thrive just proved you can deliver that at scale using ServiceNow TPSM," said Romit Ghose, Vice President and General Manager of Technology, Media, and Telcom Industry products at ServiceNow. "Better service with 14,500+ engineer hours returned. Now they can proactively solve problems before customers even know they exist."

Thrive’s newly released Nextgen 3.0 platform also includes ServiceNow's DEX Digital End-user Experience (DEX) capabilities with TeamViewer's remote connectivity technology. Together, the two platforms give Thrive's teams real-time visibility into device health and the end-user experience, along with the ability to remotely diagnose and resolve issues in the moment. This combination enables Thrive to meet clients wherever they are — proactively identifying and resolving issues before they disrupt a client’s flow of work, rather than waiting for a ticket to come in.
