Aquant announces a $30M Series B Round, led by Insight Partners, to solve the skills gap in service with artificial intelligence.

Aquant will use this capital to support its rapid growth, drive the continuous innovation of its AI platform, accelerate global expansion, and grow its engineering, client services, and go-to-market teams.

“The expectations from customers of manufacturing companies are growing, just as skilled service workers are retiring. This makes exceptional service delivery more critical, and more challenging, than ever,” said Shahar Chen, CEO and co-founder of Aquant. “With this investment, Aquant will be able to meet the market demand for technology that preserves and disseminates the institutional knowledge of service experts. We will continue to help our clients elevate the performance of every service professional, driving higher customer satisfaction and revenue.”

Aquant is working with some of the largest companies in the world to solve the skills gap crisis in customer service. According to the The Service Council, 70% of service organizations will become burdened by a retiring workforce in the next 5 to 10 years. Aquant’s artificial intelligence technology captures the knowledge of subject matter experts before they leave, by unlocking insights from clients’ data silos (e.g., CRMs and ERP systems), analyzing the free-text of customer comments and field technician notes, and validating findings with top performers. The platform then delivers prescriptive insights to every member of the service team, helping technicians and agents resolve customer challenges like experts, and service leaders make informed management decisions.

We are excited to work with Aquant to expand its customer base and help scale their respective teams.”
