Listen + Remember

Get to know every stakeholder so you can deliver hyper-personalised experiences. When someone says something about your company you can capture it and store it in the Experience Management Platform™. Over time, you’ll build up detailed profiles of your customers, employees, and any other stakeholder to know exactly what they like, need, and how every interaction with your company made them feel.

Process + Understand

See which actions to take next, thanks to a powerful analytics engine that works in the background 24/7. Experience Management takes all your data on what people said, how they feel, and what they did and uses it to model the impact of your actions. The end result is recommendations delivered in plain language to people across the business so they know exactly what to do to design and improve the experience.

Frequently asked questions


Experience Management (XM) is a holistic approach to listening to the voice of customers, employees, and other stakeholders and using the knowledge, understanding and insights to design and improve the experiences you deliver. It’s used by organisations to launch new experiences based on powerful market research to uncover unmet customer and employee needs, and then to continually optimise those experiences as their market and their stakeholders’ needs change.

Experience Management is for everyone in the organisation. From product and marketing teams, to customer care, HR, and frontline staff, everyone in the workplace today is responsible for designing and delivering experiences. Experience management is designed to provide everyone across the organisation with detailed insights and recommended actions to play their part in delivering world-class experiences to both customers and employees. With integrations into your existing workplace technology, it plugs in to the fabric of the organisation, to make taking action to design and improve the experience an automatic response right across the organisation.

How long have you got?! When you deliver the experiences people need, they reward you with both their business and their loyalty. Our customers have used experience management to reduce churn, improve employee engagement, increase customer lifetime value, boost brand awareness, increase sales, and much more.
See our customer stories

Legacy customer experience programs tend to rely on limited feedback from a handful of customers — usually directly after a transaction or interaction — and are focused primarily on solving customer problems on a 1:1 level. They’re also focused on tracking a customer experience metric like CSAT or NPS. Experience management on the other hand is about listening to every customer, giving you a detailed understanding of every individual and then using that to take the right actions to exceed customer expectations. Where traditional customer experience is fairly resource-intensive to scale, experience management is easily scalable thanks to automated actions that mean once you’ve identified the best way to close the loop with a customer, you can automate it to take the same actions every time your organisation experiences a similar issue.
