Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Market Force Information is a customer experience management company serving multi-unit organizations that operate many physical locations. Its stated aim is to improve performance at each individual location through a bundled suite of services spanning three areas: employee engagement (employee surveys, employee support and employee rewards), operational excellence (mystery shopping, site audits and merchandising) and customer experience management (customer surveys, customer support and social media reviews).

Around these measurement services the company layers analytics, mobile apps and reporting technology, including a data-driven dashboard product called KnowledgeForce, plus predictive models intended to identify which operational factors most influence growth and profitability. It also offers consulting to help clients design metrics programs, and publishes industry benchmarking research based on consumer panel studies, with brand rankings released by sector, including a banking industry study. The company markets more than 15 integrated services and states that over 200 brands use its offerings and that it handles more than 50,000 inbound support contacts per month.
