We congratulate this year's winners on their innovation, channel leadership and meaningful contributions to the technology ecosystem.” To earn the CRN Tech Innovator winning title, Luware submitted Nimbus Virtual User, which is the automation pillar of Luware's AI strategy, spanning automation, augmentation, and analytics. It is built to support employees, not replace them: Virtual User understands why a customer is calling and routes them to the right department, runs standard security checks, detects the caller's language, reads sentiment to match each customer with the best-suited agent. The impact is measurable. At one major insurance provider, first-contact resolution with a traditional IVR was 74%. After adopting Virtual User, more callers reached the right agent on the first try, and that figure climbed to 96%, a 22-point improvement.  Additionally, Luware was named a winner in the Best Customer Service category (Silver tier) at the US Customer Experience Awards 2026. This honor recognizes Luware's “People over KPIs” approach to hiring and measuring customer-facing teams, which delivered a 100 percent onboarding satisfaction rate and 97 percent positive support satisfaction. The win was selected from a competitive field of finalists judged by an independent panel of customer experience leaders, practitioners, and industry experts.  “We built our customer service around a simple belief: you cannot teach someone to care, but you can teach almost everything else,” James Cadman, Chief Customer Officer at Luware. “So we hire for empathy first and technical skill second, and we judge ourselves on how quickly we respond and whether customers are genuinely happy, not on how fast we close a ticket. Being recognized for Best Customer Service in the U.S. market tells us that putting people ahead of KPIs is something customers feel, not just something we believe. This recognition belongs to the team that lives it every day.” To view the full list of the 2026 Tech Innovator Awards Winners, please visit <a href="http://crn.com/techinnovators" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="crn.com/techinnovators">crn.com/techinnovators</a>.
