About The Professional Services Team

The Professional Services team is part of the broader Customer Success department at Swiftly, working to ensure customers are happy and finding immense value in the tools that Swiftly provides.

The Customer Success department comprises Implementation Managers, Account Managers, and Technical Support Representatives. This department is on the front line — the first point of contact for customers who have questions, are encountering issues, or need support during the implementation phase of our relationship. When problems arise, we ensure that individual customers are heard and that their issues are cared for, and we apply a keen analytical eye to spot trends and communicate problems proactively with the product team. We are passionate about improving mobility in the communities we serve, and we work side by side with transit agencies and operators to ensure their projects are impactful. We love the human aspect of our work and thrive on getting creative to solve problems or boost network performance. The Customer Success org is responsible for everything post-sale, and the Implementations team is a critical part of starting our customers on the right foot.
