FICX (CallVU)

FICX, formerly known as CallVU, provides a no-code customer experience (CX) automation platform for enterprises. The company was founded in 2012 by Ori Faran, Roee Halfon, and Doron Rotsztein. Ori Faran, who serves as CEO, holds a Ph.D. in Business Administration with a specialization in customer engagement and has a background in contact center innovation. Co-founder Roee Halfon acts as VP of Technical Operations, bringing experience from roles at VocalTec and Surf&Call, while co-founder Doron Rotsztein, the CTO, has over two decades of experience in software development for contact center solutions.

The firm operates on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, targeting industries such as financial services, insurance, healthcare, and telecommunications. Its platform enables businesses to design, build, and deploy digital customer journeys and automated workflows without writing any code. This allows enterprises to create frictionless, digital self-service experiences for their customers across various channels, including websites, mobile apps, chat, and interactive voice response (IVR) systems. By transforming complex customer interactions into simple digital flows, clients can reduce support costs, increase sales conversion rates, and improve overall customer satisfaction. Key features of the platform include a drag-and-drop experience builder with over 75 components, industry-specific templates, AI-powered agents for knowledge management and document processing, and seamless integration with existing enterprise systems like CRM and contact center software.

The company's history includes a seed round of $1 million in 2013, followed by a Series A in 2016 and a Series B funding round of $8 million in August 2021. This later round was led by NAventures (the venture arm of National Bank of Canada), Prytek, and Liberty Global Ventures, and was intended to finance platform expansion and market adoption. FICX's client roster includes notable names like National Bank of Canada, Bank Leumi, and Banca Transylvania. In 2016, as CallVU, the company was recognized as a Gartner Cool Vendor in Customer Service CRM.
