FavorDrop is a Buffalo, New York software company that turns customer appreciation into a measurable marketing channel.

Founded by father-and-son team Tim and Jack Sardinia in 2021, the platform started as a way to remotely buy a friend a drink and grew into a customer-engagement and rewards tool used by car dealerships, insurers, home-services firms, restaurants and staffing agencies. A patented 'bounce back' feature returns any unredeemed gift to the sender at expiration, so unclaimed budget is reused rather than lost.

A Salesforce editorial arguing that the AI agent conversation has moved past task completion and into 'loop engineering' — handing an agent an objective plus a way to measure progress so it plans, checks its own work, learns, and adjusts. Using a World Cup analogy, the piece contends that a brilliant individual agent (a coding agent shipping pull requests, a service agent resolving cases) means little unless it moves the business forward. Salesforce positions its 27 years of encoded CRM business rules — pipeline stages, service levels, qualified-lead definitions — as the ideal scoreboard for agents to optimize against, supported by four systems (controls, context, traceability, analytics) that form the Agent Development Lifecycle (ADLC). Customers Zing Health, Telepass, and Indeed illustrate agents running the loop at scale.

UJET is a cloud-native, mobile-first, CRM-native contact-center-as-a-service (CCaaS) platform positioning itself as the modern 'Experience Center' alternative to legacy giants like Five9, NICE, Talkdesk, and Genesys. Built around enterprise-grade AI, a zero-PII-storage architecture, and two-month deployments, UJET has raised roughly $231M across five rounds at an estimated ~$500M valuation. This story sizes up where the underdog actually stands in a consolidating CCaaS market where every vendor is shouting the same AI promises.
A brand manifesto from UJET arguing that the contact center should be reimagined as an 'experience center.' Rather than a cost center built to minimize customer contact, UJET frames CX as a source of loyalty and revenue. The video walks through a five-step platform: seamless channel blending across chat, call and text; a mobile SDK with biometric (Face ID) authentication; AI-powered automation and routing; agent assist with real-time transcription and next-best-action guidance; and real-time CRM sync that keeps no PII inside UJET. The core pitch: legacy systems solve tickets, UJET builds experiences.
