Shared inboxes managed in Front
WE HAVE A HEAD START
SELECT CUSTOMERS
Front works for teams of all sizes, across many different industries.
Front has a great user experience! It is extremely
efficient, reliable, and easy to navigate.
“
Bellhops, 100 seats
Wouldn’t go back to Gmail if you paid me.
“ Baroo, 20 seats
A wonderfully useful tool that has saved us time and energy. If an opportunity arises to
recommend Front to other teams, even outside of MailChimp, it's always top of mind.
“
MailChimp, 4 different teams
I’m in love with Front!
