Our story

Service data should prevent demand. It has only ever reported on it.

serviceMob began as an academic project at MIT, when Anuj Bhalla brought his data science training and a decade of consulting to one problem: enterprises hold enormous amounts of service data and no way to model the customer experiences inside it. Every tool counts its own artifacts, a contact, a case, a ticket, a survey. None of them models the experience those artifacts add up to.

The answer became the Brain for Customer Service & Support: the experience rendered as a data model, and an Answer Engine that reads it at three altitudes, from the frontline to the executive layer.

The delivery model took shape when Marcel Barrera joined as co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer. Marcel started on the floor as a contact center agent, became a consultant and then a strategy executive for Fortune 500 companies. That path is the blueprint for Software with a Service: the platform and the people who operate it arrive together, inside the client's operation, accountable for the outcomes the business runs on.
