Great Software Isn’t Enough — You Need a Team That Has Your Back

Vivid’s Support Stands Out — and the Data Proves It.

There’s a simple way to measure what it feels like to work with a vendor, in every interaction, ask yourself: was it easy to get my issue handled?

That’s what the Customer Effort Score (CES) asks. It’s a tougher test than satisfaction survey because it penalizes friction anywhere in the process—waiting, repeating, or being passed around. Vivid scores 6.97 out of 7—well above benchmarks. In plain terms, customers tell us: every interaction feels easy.
