Solution Tips & Resources
Upcoming Branding Changes

Beginning in January, all solutions under PerfectServe, including Lightning Bolt, will undergo rebranding in an effort to streamline and enhance the customer experience.

What does this mean for Lightning Bolt customers?

On January 9, 2025, Lightning Bolt’s new branding will be released, including visible changes to names, logos, and icons in the desktop and mobile applications. Please note, functionality will not be impacted—only the branding will change.

Resources have been created to support customers through the rebranding, including materials and visuals that can be used to update your internal documentation. Please review our support article and join us on December 12 at 11:00 AM PT, for a Lightning Bolt branding update webinar.
