Client insight you can act on

Structured client listening and flexible delivery models for professional firms, supported by the CustomServe platform.

How CustomServe platform supports client listening

Different firms. Different starting points. One standard of insight.

Firms begin client feedback from different positions, depending on internal capability and objectives. Acuigen supports different interviewing approaches, all working to the same standards and delivered through a single, secure, enterprise‑grade platform.

Full Service Delivery

Acuigen undertakes all client interviews on your behalf, typically conducted virtually or by telephone. We manage delivery end‑to‑end, with interviews, transcripts, analytics and reporting captured within CustomServe to provide independent, structured insight across the firm.

Best suited to

Firms prioritising independence, discretion, or scale without internal interviewing capacity.

Hybrid Delivery

Client interviews are undertaken by Acuigen, specialist consultants, and your team, using a shared framework and consistent standards. All feedback is captured within CustomServe, combining internal client conversations with independent insight, analytics and firm‑wide reporting.

Best suited to

Firms with some interviewing capacity who want independent support and consistent standards.

Self-Delivery

Client interviews are conducted by your team or nominated specialist consultants, supported by the CustomServe platform for transcripts, analytics and reporting. Acuigen provides optional guidance and support to ensure insight remains consistent and comparable across engagements.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ How quickly can firms see value from an Acuigen solution?

Following contract signature, solution design usually takes around 3–4 weeks, with system configuration and setup completed within a further 3–4 weeks. Most firms then run a pilot programme over approximately three months, allowing early insight, stakeholder confidence, and a clear evidence base before scaling.

+ What does ‘always‑on’ mean, and can Acuigen solutions operate this way?

CustomServe supports always‑on feedback programmes, but it is not limited to an always‑on model by default. A solution becomes always‑on when it is configured to collect feedback continuously, such as through open survey links, QR codes, or in‑workflow prompts, rather than at fixed points in time. Many firms run a mix of Client Solutions within a single programme: some designed for continuous listening, others for specific matters, clients, or reviews. This allows firms to balance depth, governance, and efficiency while maintaining an ongoing view of client experience where it matters most.

+ How does Acuigen operate where the use of AI is restricted?

Acuigen solutions are designed to operate with or without AI, depending on each client’s governance and compliance requirements. CustomServe allows AI capabilities to be enabled or disabled at the CustomServe platform level, ensuring full control over how interview and feedback data is handled. We are currently testing a new feature for sites where AI is enabled; individual interviews or content can also be excluded from AI processing to meet specific client, matter, or jurisdictional requirements. This flexibility allows firms to benefit from automation where appropriate, while continuing to operate fully compliantly in more restricted contexts.

+ Can Acuigen undertake multilingual telephone or virtual interviews?

Yes. Acuigen delivers telephone and virtual interviews in English and multiple languages, depending on client and programme requirements. Interviews are conducted by experienced interviewers and tailored to the cultural, jurisdictional, and governance needs of each engagement. Within an Acuigen programme, different delivery requirements, such as language or interview type, are configured as distinct Client Solutions within CustomServe. Programmes can also benefit from having multiple multilingual web‑based surveys alongside interviews, allowing a blended, scalable approach to client listening.

+ Can CustomServe integrate with PowerBI or CRM systems?

Yes. CustomServe supports API‑based integrations with tools such as Power BI and CRM systems, allowing client feedback data and insight outputs to be surfaced within existing reporting, analytics, or client management environments. Integrations are configured to align with each firm’s data, security, and governance requirements, ensuring insight can be accessed where decision‑makers already work, without duplicating or disrupting established systems.
