Our Story | JRNI

In 2007, JRNI noticed a fundamental shift in the way individuals wanted to engage with brands. Consumers had grown more informed and came to expect that every brand engagement was relevant, meaningful and addressed their specific needs. They expected to engage with brands on their terms, at a place and time that was convenient for them, with associates who understood their needs and desires.

This shift in consumer behavior gave birth to JRNI, which was established to focus on helping brands improve every engagement throughout the customer lifecyle. JRNI’s Customer Engagement Platform was built on the premise that educated consumers want to engage with brands on their terms and engage with knowledgable associates who provide relevant insights to their unique needs and they expect it during each and every engagement.

Today, the value of each engagement is critical to a business' success and JRNI is at the core of a global movement focused on empowering businesses to focus on the customer while delivering enduring, consistent and outstanding customer engagements throughout the entire customer lifecycle, at scale.

JRNI is the leading Enterprise customer engagement platform with a tightly integrated set of modules designed to automate enterprise use cases for event management, appointment scheduling, virtual & physical queue management, and advanced reporting & analytics. JRNI helps businesses offer remote and in-person experiences that build stronger relationships, improve customer satisfaction and loyalty, and increase revenue and efficiency. In short, JRNI makes every engagement meaningful and relevant.
