Stay Upfront
Stay Upfront is an all-in-one platform for B2B SaaS teams that unifies support, incidents, monitoring, status pages, and knowledge base into a single workspace with one data model.
Description
Stay Upfront is a unified workspace for B2B SaaS companies and SMEs that combines customer support, incident management, uptime monitoring, status pages, and a knowledge base into a single platform with one data model. It eliminates tool sprawl by integrating five separate functions into one app, enabling teams to coordinate internally and communicate externally from the same data. The platform includes an AI assistant named Sue that triages tickets, drafts incident updates, and summarizes threads, all while being transparent about its AI nature. Stay Upfront focuses on helping small teams present a professional front to customers and prospects, especially during incidents, by ensuring that customers see that the team is already aware and working on issues. It is built by Rob Gough, a seasoned software engineer and fractional CTO, who designed it to solve the pain points he observed over twenty years of building software with small teams.
