Founded in 2016, Chatter has designed, developed and deployed its own proprietary customer research and real-time feedback platform powered by AI and big data. The company’s combination of free-text chats and machine learning captures unique customer insights and allows business owners to improve customer satisfaction and drive sales. Chatter serves clients in a range of industries including finance, retail, and restaurants and major brands such as Lush, Fanatics and Purdys Chocolatier.
This strategic acquisition supports Stingray’s business plan and growth strategy by offering Stingray Business customers a “one-stop” shop for background music, digital signage and – now -customer insights. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Stingray will fully own and operate Chatter with the continued direction of the company’s current leadership team.
