Founded
2000 by Andrew Reid
Vision Critical provides a cloud-based customer intelligence platform that allows companies to
build engaged, secure communities of customers they can use continuously, across the enterprise,
for ongoing, real-time feedback and insight. Designed for today’s always-on, social and mobile
savvy customer, Vision Critical’s technology helps large, customer-centric enterprises discover
what their customers want so they can deliver what they need. Unlike traditional customer
research, which is slow, expensive and gathers dust on a shelf, Vision Critical’s customer
intelligence platform replaces static data and cumbersome reports with real-time actionable
customer intelligence that companies need to build better products, deliver better services and
achieve better business outcomes.
Hundreds of high-performance organizations use Vision Critical’s technology,
including Banana Republic, Yahoo and Discovery Communications.

Insight Communities
Enables companies to engage in meaningful
conversations with their stakeholders or a
broader market audience. Insight Communities
deliver actionable insight that helps drive better
business decisions.
Member Feedback
People are bombarded with requests to fill out
surveys—and the problem is only getting worse.
We see things differently. It’s not about a oneway questionnaire directed “at” customers. We
believe people want to have a meaningful
conversation with brands rather than an
interrogation.
Discussions
Learn what customers think and why by
engaging them in fun, thoughtful and visually
appealing discussions that are easy to design
and moderate.
Reporting & Analytics
Howard Gwin, Corporate Director
Real-time reporting and analytics tools helps
inspire, empower and activate stakeholders with
the insight they need to make better decisions
faster.
