The new partnership and integration will unlock a powerful set of AI-driven tools—including contactless mobile check-in and checkout, real-time guest messaging, identity verification, and revenue-generating upsells—seamlessly embedded within the Visual Matrix PMS environment. Phase II will include use of Junry's voice activated AI to bring further innovation and enhanced guest experiences.

As guest expectations rise and staffing challenges persist, this collaboration empowers hotels using the Visual Matrix PMS, a premium, high-touch service without expanding their teams.

From responding to inquiries across multiple channels to executing backend tasks like identity verification and room upgrades, the system is built to handle complexity in real time. By embedding this capability directly into the Visual Matrix PMS, hotel teams can now operate smarter, faster, and with the confidence that every interaction meets today's demand for immediacy and personalization.
'Partnering with Visual Matrix brings the scale and reach to deliver truly autonomous operations to thousands of hotels at once,' said Luca Zambello, Co-founder and CEO of Jurny. 'Together, we're creating infrastructure that allows hotel teams to move faster, reduce manual tasks, and elevate the guest experience using next-gen agentic AI NIA.'
