Our mission is to help contact centers unlock the potential of every human interaction

Truly understanding customer needs and demands enables contact centers to improve those experiences, faster and at scale.

Our story

From an idea to reality,
hear our starting story

The idea for Operative Intelligence began in a call center over a decade ago when our co-founder, James, developed a way to identify the root cause reasons why customers were calling and used these insights to improve customer NPS by 5x. In 2019, we saw an opportunity to bring this intelligence to contact centers globally by pairing deep domain expertise with industry first technology.
