Our take

Zendesk builds support, sales and customer engagement software. The company was founded in 2006 when its founders set out to create a user friendly, centralised and intuitive system for delivering customer service. The business has since grown considerably, and today Zendesk has over 3000 employees working across 20 global offices, supporting businesses including Uber, Tesco and the NHS.

The company offers a range of products, from customer support to an end-to-end sales suite, with a strong emphasis on customisability and plug-and-play solutions that offer an alternative to traditional CRMs, which can require weeks or even months to set up.

Whilst the global CRM market is crowded and dominated by heavyweights like Salesforce.com and Hubspot, Zendesk has proven that their chat-based approach is both popular and scalable. However, given rising pressure from investors over rejected takeover proposals, the company is looking to maintain its independence through making its own acquisitions, as well as seeking growth in the APAC region.
