Solution

Thrive built its NextGen Platform on the ServiceNow AI Platform using Technology Provider Service Management as the managed-services backbone. Automated workflows now route and resolve more than 315,000 tasks every six months, while centralized customer service and technical support let front-line teams resolve more incidents at first contact. AI features such as advanced work assignment, task intelligence, and case summarization classify tickets, surface prior actions, and connect customers to the right engineer in under a minute. Self-service handles routine issues like password resets, and Service Bridge links Thrive directly with customers' own ServiceNow instances for real-time collaboration and fewer handoffs. Underneath that experience, Thrive credits reliable data models and consistent data hygiene with making it easy to adopt new AI capabilities, while AI Agents, Action Fabric, and AI Control Tower are used to scale automation and govern future customer-facing workflows.

Data flow

Customer incidents and service tasks enter Thrive's NextGen Platform, where TPSM orchestrates triage and support workflows. AI-driven assignment, task intelligence, and case summaries route work to the right engineers, while Service Bridge synchronizes activity with customer ServiceNow instances so collaboration and resolution happen on shared data rather than through handoffs.
