We leverage this communication channel to gather useful product feedback, while dispensing helpful advice and tips for navigating the app. Our growing team is the ‘glue’ that holds the platform together, collaborating with colleagues in Technology, Development, Quality Engineering, Incident Management, Delivery, Analytics, VOC (Voice of the Customer), Product Management, Marketing and various Lines of Business on a daily basis.
