We're a team of CRM practitioners, engineers, and operators solving the hardest problem in competitive intelligence: seeing what happens after the signup.
For years, competitive intelligence focused on public signals like ads and SEO. Today, the real fight for retention happens in inboxes, lock screens, and private apps, far beyond what traditional tools can see.
THEN
When competitive intelligence was simple
For a long time, marketers could see almost everything that mattered. Ads, SEO rankings, and social feeds were all out in the open, and a few tools were enough to track what competitors were doing. Public channels told most of the story.
Now
The hidden layer of customer engagement
Today, the most important customer interactions happen off the public channels. Retention flows, onboarding journeys, and personalized offers live in inboxes, lock screens, and private apps, a hidden layer that drives most engagement yet remains invisible to traditional tools.
why we exist
We built Axess Intelligence to make the hidden visible
We founded Axess Intelligence to solve this blind spot. Competing today means understanding not just the public campaigns, but the private relationships built afterwards. By capturing and structuring real customer communications, Axess gives teams a clear view of how leading brands engage, retain, and grow their users, so you can respond with confidence, not guesswork.
We believe that competitive clarity shouldn't come at the cost of consumer privacy.
Full Visibility
We don't guess. We capture. We give brands the hard data they need to compete fairly and effectively, eliminating the guesswork that plagues CRM teams.
Privacy by Design
Headquartered in Germany, we treat data protection as a feature, not a hurdle, proving that high-fidelity intelligence can fully align with strict privacy standards.
