Our Story | JRNI

With apps for facilitating appointments, virtual queuing, and events, plus industry-leading analytics, JRNI helps businesses offer remote and in-person experiences that increase revenue, profitability, and efficiency, build customer relationships, and improve customer satisfaction and loyalty.

JRNI’s mission is to help companies deliver exceptional experiences. In a world where connections are the new commodity, brands need to do more than sell a product or service - they need to deliver a unique, personalized experience that provides the human-to-human connections consumers crave. That's why we built JRNI - to help our clients schedule and manage personalized experiences at scale.

JRNI is the only SaaS solution designed to meet the XRM needs of enterprises. The JRNI Scheduling Engine models the complex logic necessary for a scalable XRM strategy. The JRNI Experience Apps make it easy for customers and staff to book and manage experiences. And JRNI Analytics measures the success of your XRM strategy so you can tell how you’re driving revenue, converting customers, and optimizing the customer experience.
