About Touchwork

Run your business on experience.

Touchwork is the Experience Operations (XO) company. For more than 20 years, we've helped organizations hear from the people they serve in the moment, find the operational issue behind every poor experience and fix it before it impacts customers, revenue or trust.

Who we are

The Experience Operations company.

Touchwork is the Experience Operations (XO) company. We help organizations detect the operational issues behind poor experiences. By connecting real-time feedback with operational data, Touchwork helps teams identify the cause, take the right action and prevent issues from happening again before they impact revenue or trust.

We've all had a bad experience. Cold food. A dirty restroom. A broken vending machine. Most organizations hear about those moments after the fact, and even then they don't always know what caused them. We started Touchwork to close that gap, and we've spent more than two decades doing it.

Sentiment tells you something's wrong. We tell you why.

Why a new category?

We've never fit neatly into one software box, because the problem we solve doesn't either. Experience Operations brings four separate categories together on one platform.

Traditional categoryWhat it does on its ownWhat XO adds
Feedback platforms Collect opinions and survey responses Ties every response to a location, an owner and an action
Audit platforms Conduct inspections and ensure compliance Connects audit results to what customers actually felt
Workflow tools Assign and track issues Starts the workflow the moment a customer flags a problem
Business intelligence Analyze and report on data Shows the root cause, not just the score
Our story

We've been listening since 2003.

  1. In 2003, when mobile technology was still in its infancy, Touchwork launched the first service in the world that let customers share in-the-moment feedback by text message, with real-time reporting and alerts. The idea was simple: the best time to hear about a problem is while you can still fix it.

  2. Our customers quickly showed us that feedback was only the start. A complaint about a dirty restroom led to a question about cleaning schedules. A low dining score led to a question about food safety checks. So we built the tools to answer those questions: operational audits and inspections, mystery shopping, issue reporting, service requests, surveys, messaging, dashboards and AI insights, all on one platform we called Kinetica.

  3. Today that platform has a new name that reflects everything it does: XOP, the Experience Operations Platform. The solutions our customers rely on haven't changed. What's changed is that the industry finally has a name for what we've always done. That's Experience Operations.

What we believe

Every poor experience starts with an operational issue.

How we work

Feedback finds it. Operational audits prove it. Action fixes it.

Every Touchwork solution runs on XOP, the Experience Operations Platform. Instead of separate tools for feedback, inspections, workflows and reporting, XOP connects them on one record, so teams can move from noticing a problem to solving it, and keep it solved.
