Middlesbrough, England-based EvaluAgent, a Quality Assurance (QA) and Performance Improvement platform, announced on Friday, June 23 that it has raised $20M (approximately €18.3M) in a Series A round of funding from PeakSpan Capital.
As part of the round, Phil Dur, co-Founder and Managing Partner at PeakSpan, will join EvaluAgent’s board of directors.
EvaluAgent says it will use the funds to advance its Quality Assurance & Agent Improvement Platform Capabilities. It will also expand its fully-remote team and support customers in new and existing geographies.
“EvaluAgent was built after decades in contact center operations and seeing up-close how quality assurance, agent performance improvement, and related workflows desperately needed better solutions,” says Jaime Scott, co-founder and CEO of EvaluAgent.
“Our platform aims to deliver feature-rich automated workflows that are fully integrated into your contact center tools so that operators and agents alike can be more efficient and effective in delighting customers, supercharging the pathway to smart quality,” adds Scott.
