Autopilot, the visual marketing software for automating customer journeys, today introduced a new Business plan to help growth marketers drive even better results through personalization and event-based marketing.

The Customer Journey is Gaining Momentum

Autopilot is fueling the movement towards customer journey marketing and away from interruptive forms of generic batch and blast email and transactional messaging. Autopilot has experienced strong demand for their flexible, visual product that uses drag-and-connect shapes to create complex and simple customer journeys alike.

Since launching in April 2015, Autopilot has added thousands of paying customers, including leaders in SaaS and E-commerce, as well as retail, healthcare, consulting, crowdfunding, and non-profits. Marquee customers include Lyft, Mixpanel, Freshdesk, LiveChat, Patreon, Dolby, and Sydney Children’s Hospital.

“Consumer expectations are changing rapidly - people want to engage in a personal, one to one manner, in real time, on their favorite channels,” said Mike Sharkey, Autopilot CEO & co-founder. “Autopilot is now processing over 8 million events per minute, reflecting the growing volume and sophistication of journeys being used to acquire, nurture, and grow customers.”

Introducing Pricing Fit For Any Business

While all marketers are on path to better personalization, there is a clear spectrum emerging around the sophistication of their automation approaches.
