Joen.io

joen.io works in two directions: consumer apps that help a business reach its customers, and internal apps that improve the way the business runs. The company presents its customer work as a way to drive engagement beyond what a website can do alone, and its enterprise solutions span apps and websites alike.

Apps that reach customers

Consumer apps can alert customers to sales, discounts and other offers, and let customers share the app with friends and followers. Built-in features include social media integration, loyalty cards kept on the phone, tap-to-call and tap-for-directions, and location-based offers that use GPS to reach customers nearby.

Analytics that show what works

App analytics reports show what is and is not working, so that a business can improve over time. The company says process data collected through an app can be measured, analyzed and used to make improvements.

A website and a companion app together

joen.io can rebuild an existing website as a responsive HTML5 site that displays well on a phone, and it can create a companion app alongside it. A central hub lets administrators manage website content as well as app content such as push notifications and data feeds, so the digital presence is run from one place.

Apps for retail, food and personal services

Retailers and online stores get a storefront, a shopping cart and mobile payments inside the app. Restaurants, bars and other food businesses get interactive menus, reservation systems and delivery services, with third-party integrations for services such as Seamless, GrubHub, Yelp and OpenTable. Appointment-based businesses, such as hair studios and medical practices, get a list of services and self-serve booking that shows real-time availability.

Internal tools for process improvement

Process apps cover internal tools, vendor forms and ERP integration, along with barcode scanner apps for inventory and for listings of cars, boats or planes. Employee directories, facility maps, health information, emergency checklists and ordering supplies are also in the range. Realtors can use house-listing tools, self-service calculators and lead capture.
