Founded in 2017 and based in Herzliya, a town in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, Perceptive AI develops a machine learning-based system that helps companies predict which customers are likely to purchase new products and which are likely to take their business elsewhere. The system, aimed at business-to-business (B2B) software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies, gives customer relations agents an early warning and possible steps to be taken to minimize the risk of clients forgoing the company’s service.

Artificial intelligence will have a profound effect on the way companies deal with customer service and conservation, Liron Azrielant, a general partner at Meron, said in a statement. Preserving and expanding their customer base is one of the major obstacles faced by Software-as-a-service companies today, she added. Perceptive AI intends to use the funding for research and development as well as expanding its global activity.
