The full Journeyman Platform suite includes:

• Journeyman Insights: The powerful new Trade Insights Platform provides unique business intelligence based on XOi’s unprecedented field service data indexing capabilities. With intuitive visualizations derived from current and historical equipment, job and technician information, company leaders can identify revenue- and efficiency-driving trends to make intelligent and informed real-time business decisions.
  
  
• Journeyman Virtual Mentor Center: Designed to help address the pressure of the ongoing skilled trades labor gap, XOi’s Virtual Mentor Center helps contractors and field service teams enhance customer experience and protect revenue by avoiding second truck rolls or incomplete service. As an in-house provider of live virtual support and training calls, XOi’s Virtual Mentor Center helps technicians by offering efficient and repeatable processes that build skills and expertise, rather than simply fixing the problem at hand.
