ABOUT US
Who we are, and what we do
At Surfly we focus our energy on one thing: enabling anyone, anywhere to add a collaborative layer to any web application without having to modify or change the original application.
However you want to collaborate remotely, you should be able to, without creating cumbersome integrations, or continually adding complex and costly technology.
This is possible today with Surfly’s Interaction Middleware, which allows you to innovate any digital interaction in real-time, however you want.

Why Surfly impressed me?
“Surfly’s co-browsing solution is easy to use for both customers and agents, and the back-end system allow business to customize many different settings like user interface and the back list/ white list, and so on.
What attracted me most is Surfly’s e-signature feature and document collaboration, which can help the insurance industry develop the digital online service significantly.” -

Great additional service to our company!
“It is so easy! No one has to download anything for us to connect and the steps needing to make the connection is simple. It has great features that make it easy to show multiple websites and even be able to show documents loaded in my computer. To be able to swap control of the cursor back and forth is also great, so the end user can feel a part of their own enrollment.”

A hassle-free solution that is friendly to use, easy to integrate, and affordable to adopt
“Universal browsing with video chat and document upload/download is a perfect combination for digital insurance! And I think the free trial and online resource is really helpful for early evaluation.”

Our Interaction Middleware technology will become a new infrastructure for the digital world, allowing anyone to add any type of collaboration or communication layer to any digital property they want.
Surfly's future
The biggest difference between Surfly and everyone is that Surfly allows you to co-browse the full web without needing to change or modify any code on any website. Our underlying technology doesn’t rely on adding Javascript to your digital properties, or force you to connect to a virtual browser. Instead, we have developed an advanced proxy that is the core of everything we do — we call it Interaction Middleware.
It will enable our customers to transform any web interaction, in any way they want, on the fly, in real-time, and without changing the original application. This is our vision and secret sauce.
Today it powers our co-browsing technology but there is no limit to what it can do.
Surfly is built to meet the highest security standards and regulations
How did it all begin?
Nicholas Piël
CEO & Founder, Surfly
“While in university I worked in tech support and saw first hand how hard it is to help people remotely. After a particularly tough call, the idea for Surfly was born. But we decided to take a unique approach to building the technology that enables anyone to add collaborative and human experiences to any digital interactions through co-browsing. Our approach uses an interaction middleware, so co-browsing is just the beginning of our journey to let anyone add a layer of interaction to anything digital.”
Our history:
It starts with a particularly tough support call over 8 years ago, includes an apple pie, the usual start-up challenges, winning numerous awards, hitting the 200,000 user mark, and…. well, just read a condensed timeline below.

2012:
While working in tech support, Nicholas had a marathon tech support call that ended with a happy customer sending Nicholas a homemade apple pie, and the realization that the issue could have been solved in minutes if they could have browsed the website together. The idea for Surfly, and our company-wide obsession with apple pie, was born. (We still accept homemade baked goods!)
