We proactively use technology to improve customer wellbeing and prevent crisis situations, such as debt and homelessness.

The cost-of-living crisis or an unexpected change in circumstances can make life difficult. Whether it’s bills mounting up, increased stress or other physical and mental health issues, it can be hard to know where to go for support. Or even how to ask for it.

That’s why a wellbeing check starts with the question ‘Are you ok?’.

Why TellJO

We work with organisations to proactively offer their customers a wellbeing check. In some cases, this is to customers who have missed payments or have arrears.

This is because we believe the current system is broken and the way arrears are pursued often causes harm and pushes people further into debt.

If we can help organisations understand the reasons for a customer’s non-payment, we can help build long-term resilience and wellbeing for both the customer and organisation. Saving the customer stress, reducing the risk of enforcement and associated costs for both the business and the customer.

We believe Social Responsibility for any organisation should be a standard.

Our vision

To empower organisations to harness the power of digital and data to promote wellbeing for those hardest to reach.

Our values

We put Social Value above profit. We see pure profit as a dated concept. Our focus is on making the world a better place for everyone.
