Journi provides IT consulting and technology roadmap development for a bedding products company. The team has helped the client onboard and utilize Monday.com, as well as implement Microsoft Azure and SoftCo.
Journi has helped the client save costs, improve efficiency, and implement more effective ways of working, enabling them to scale the business and increase volume without adding complexity. The team meets deadlines, stays on budget, and understands the challenges the client faces.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the COO of a manufacturer of bedding products, primarily pillows and duvets. We distribute through various channels, including own-label wholesale, brand wholesale, and hospitality.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Journi?
We wanted to grow our business over the next few years and double our revenue. To do that, we needed to improve our technology landscape. We had grown through an entrepreneurial mindset and approach, but our processes weren’t standardized, and we weren’t using our technologies the way we should.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
We’ve asked Journi to do a technology roadmap for our business. The team has done a detailed discovery process, including about 35 workshops with different functional leaders and teams across our business. They’ve spent about 40 hours investigating what we do and mapping out our strengths and weaknesses.
As a result, Journi has suggested things we need to do to improve various areas. They’re helping us onboard and better utilize task management activities such as Monday.com. We’ve also been moving our technology landscape from server-hosted through our existing providers to Microsoft Azure and cloud-based technology.
Journi is helping us integrate SoftCo as an S&OP process and design some mini apps to improve various processes across our business. They’re also helping us manage our critical path activity more accurately and onboard customers.
What is the team composition?
We primarily work with Carlos. He’s our main contact and acts as our fractional CTO. We also work with an account manager.
How did you come to work with Journi?
Our CEO found them through a recommendation from her network.
How much have you invested with them?
We will have spent around £200,000 by the end of the year.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in April 2025, and the engagement is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We’re tracking a number of process improvements that are cost-saving. We’ll save around £50,000 per year in infrastructure costs. We’ve also seen efficiency gains as a result of some of the standardization and simplification we’ve put in place. We’ll save around two full-time employees’ worth of efficiency savings.
The most important bit for me is that we’re implementing more efficient and effective ways of working. That means we can continue to scale the business and do more volume without adding complexity.
How did Journi perform from a project management standpoint?
Journi meets deadlines and stays on budget. We use ClickUp for project management and communicate via email, phone calls, and Microsoft Teams.
What did you find most impressive about them?
From the beginning, they’ve understood the challenges we face. Carlos has been able to understand and map our current activities without being in the business, which is impressive.
Are there any areas they could improve?
There’s always room for improvement, but I can’t think of anything specific.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Be clear about your priorities and ensure there’s a clear business case and activity plan put together around those priorities. That way, you’ll have a way of monitoring and tracking success.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
Kittle Group had already developed an MVP web app that would help with bid planning. The initial version demonstrated the core functionality, but we needed to refine the the central algorithm, build out and enhance the platform with new features and refine the UX/UI. Journi worked really well to pick up and understand how the existing MVP worked, suggesting algorithmic enhancements, off the shelf components that could be integrated to accelerate the development and worked with us to deliver the enhancements.
We were particularly impressed with the way they used us to understand the context of the industry to first identify and then come up with solutions for a myriad of edge cases and interactions we didn't initally consider. They could distill 'the principles' from us really quickly so that they could pre-empt likely solutions for most of these, running them by us for sign off.
They brought on a UX professional to run through the MVP which flagged some important adjustments we needed to make. They totally altered the UI which made it a lot better visually, but they were happy to suggest and implement changes that went deeper than the cosmetic, helping us think through the user's journey working with the app, seeing where potential pain points were and suggesting a much better more streamlined flow of actions for the user.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Enhanced UI/UX following a UX audit
Redesigned planning algorithm, which delivers much more intuitive plans
App is much easier for first time users to navigate
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Everything was delivered on time from Journi, though we sometimes introduced delays on our end. Journi were very responsive to any enquires. They initiated contact often and kept us up to date with progress continually. They let us knwo when they would need our input in advance so we could input into the project around our existing workload easily.

On the delivery side, Carlos got his head around the project really quickly, and Journi were able to really pick up, improve and run with an MVP that others had built.
Are there any areas for improvement or something Journi could have done differently?
Not that I can think of.

Journi developed custom software for an oil and gas company. The team worked with the client's source code, fixed the software's issues, and enhanced performance.
Journi's work improved the client's speed of some elements by 30% and reduced memory usage by 50%, meeting the client's KPIs. The team met all deadlines and used Jira to manage the project and Slack for daily stand-ups. Moreover, the team's professionalism and speed in understanding stood out.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the director of data analytics and software engineering for an oil and gas data analytics company. We provide oil and gas operators with assessments of their assets, production, and well integrity.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Journi?
We developed a software product, and some issues needed addressing. We didn’t have in-house personnel with the correct skill set to investigate, so we hired Journi to help us start the work.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
We started by making a few phone calls to discuss what the product needed. Then, we provided Journi access to the software so they could familiarize themselves with the source code and the issues we described. We had a few demo sessions where we ran the software ourselves and shared our screen with them. From there, they devised a plan to achieve our objectives within a timeline and at a cost that was suitable for us.
Journi used .NET to develop the software. They offered to do the entire development for us and help us hire internal staff to continue the development. We’re exploring further, but it’ll be a while before we can progress.
What is the team composition?
We worked with Jake, their sales manager, and Carlos, their CTO. Jake discussed the engagement at the commercial level while Carlos did the technical work.
How did you come to work with Journi?
They found us. Their marketing team reached out to companies that needed software development. We liked our conversations with them. They had a solid understanding of what we needed them to do. They made us comfortable with their established process, which we wanted.
It was worth having a small, confined, and easily measurable project with them to see how the work would go. It wasn’t a huge amount of money to spend to ensure the way they worked, and the quality of the deliverables were adequate for what we wanted.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent £9,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together from November to December 2023. The actual development time was around two weeks; we had the results by January 2024.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We had very specific goals. We wanted the software's performance to improve by a measurable amount. We needed a 30% improvement in the speed of certain elements and a 50% decrease in the memory used. We had a few KPIs we wanted to achieve, and they were completed.
How did Journi perform from a project management standpoint?
They met our deadlines. We used Jira but didn’t need to put everything in there. We used Slack for daily stand-ups.
The team was very good; they were professional. Carlos was the person with whom the work really happened, and Jake was there in the background, more on the business end of things, to just get the agreements and paperwork in place.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They were speedy in familiarizing themselves with the product, which was tricky because we were working with something built by someone else. They did a very good job of that. It didn’t take them long to get that familiarity before we started the project in earnest. They were able to suggest some very good technical solutions to get the performance update we needed.
We're looking into doing some more with them.
Are there any areas they could improve?
There’s nothing they could do better. Everything worked well.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Be very clear on what you want to achieve before you start. There are always hundreds of things that can change your direction. Start with a clear picture of what you’re trying to do, and don’t get distracted by other things. Clarity of purpose is more on the buyer than the journey's side.

What is the team composition?

How did you come to work with Journi?
I worked with one of Journi's team members at a previous company, and they contacted me to inform me about Journi's services. I needed an app built at that time and decided to work with the team. I liked the way Journi presented the quote and how they conducted themselves during the call. Additionally, Journi's price fit my budget, and they fixed it for me. How much have you invested with them?

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?
Both Jake and Carlos exceeded my expectations.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I've had issues working with previous development companies because they over-promised and didn't deliver. Journi delivered what they promised from the start. The team communicated well and had good developers. I liked that Journi was a smaller firm, and we didn't work with multiple teammates throughout the project.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I can't think of anything Journi could improve.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
I recommend asking Journi to look at your software requirements and make your own decision on how to move forward. I suggest working with smaller businesses and not getting caught up by big companies.

BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I'm the founder and CEO of My Trauma Therapy
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Journi?
I needed IT strategy and consultancy services. I was also looking for IT assessment, digital transformation, and IT governance.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Journi conducted an audit of the current technical status and progress of my company's novel product development, which was an application. The team performed a gap analysis assessment versus the project suit to a digital roadmap. Additionally, Journi provided a fractional CTO consultancy service, conducting architecture and code reviews of our app's development to identify the status of the novel software and prepare us for the investment round.
What is the team composition?
I only worked with Carlos (Chief Technology Innovation Officer & Co-Founder).
How did you come to work with Journi?
I contacted Journi through a referral. How much have you invested with them?
We invested around £25,000–£50,000 (approximately $31,000–$63,000) with Journi.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked with Journi from December 2023–April 2024.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The quality of Journi's work exceeded my expectations. The team did everything I needed them to do.
How did Journi perform from a project management standpoint?
Journi delivered work on time and on budget. We had good communication via phone calls and emails. Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?
I want to highlight Carlos' work. He helped us move forward with our project with his knowledge and ability. He opened us to new ideas and the way the app could be produced in a more user-friendly way.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Journi's knowledge of my company and what we delivered to clients was their biggest strength.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I can't think of anything for Journi to improve.
Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?
I suggest being very open and honest about what you want and how you want your product to look and allowing Journi to advise you on the best strategy.

Journi developed and launched a bespoke enterprise app for a water management company. This included implementing multiple modules into the app.
Journi successfully launched the app while continuing to meet customer expectations and service level agreements. While Journi didn't meet the initial delivery goal because of the project's complexity, they ensured constant availability and effectively responded to all of the client's needs.

Why did you select Journi over others?
Knowledge of project
How many teammates from Journi were assigned to this project?
6-10 Employees
Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
The application is built on several modules that all interact with each other to deliver different services to the business and customers. Within the core platform there were five key deliverables that were required for a successful launch. At the point that Journi took over the project a few of these were completed but still required further work to ensure they were operationally fit for purpose. Each of these deliverables interlinked and were required for the platform to function. This required Journi to really understand our business, which they did.

Launching the platform whilst continuing to meet customer expectations and SLAs
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
It was a challenging project and so we didn't achieve our initial delivery goal but Journi responded to our needs well. They were always available and willing to put in the hard work.
What was your primary form of communication with Journi?
Virtual Meeting
Email or Messaging App
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
They were able to upscale and onboard new developers quickly without impact to velocity or productivity.
Are there any areas for improvement or something Journi could have done differently?
Developing a bespoke system in a niche market comes with significant challenges so it would be difficult to suggest an improvement to the service we received.
