Company profile
researched Aug 2026Tenfold, originally operating as Callinize Inc., developed software that integrated customer relationship management systems with company telephony and messaging systems. The product automatically logged calls and surfaced customer history and context to sales and service representatives at the moment of an interaction, with capabilities including click-to-dial, automatic call logging, and performance analytics spanning voice and messaging channels.
The company positioned its product as a modernization layer that added CRM context to existing phone infrastructure rather than requiring replacement of legacy telephony. Typical use cases included sales teams auto-logging calls into Salesforce, contact centers displaying CRM records on inbound calls, and cross-channel performance reporting. Following the October 2021 acquisition by LivePerson, Tenfold's capabilities were folded into LivePerson's conversational AI platform, and the tenfold.com domain now presents LivePerson's platform for designing, simulating, validating and monitoring AI and human agent conversations.
