JESI offers a Software-as-a-Service solution that allows enterprise customers to track the location and safety of remote employees. The product was originally focused on protecting workers who travel or work alone in isolated or remote locations. JESI says the COVID-19 pandemic has broadened demand, making its technology applicable to remote workers across Australia and in many sectors. The company was launched in 2014 and is positioned to serve enterprises needing remote worker safety and location visibility. Management highlights the expanded market opportunity resulting from more widespread remote work. Recently the company secured new funding, indicating investor interest in its offering. JESI is a Townsville-based mobile workforce software startup that provides B2B tools to track workers' movements between sites. The company closed a $1 million seed round comprised of $500,000 from the Queensland government's Business Development Fund and a $500,000 co-investment from Future Now Ventures. The raise was led by the state government co-investment and is noted as the first funding the program has disbursed to a regional company. Founder and CEO Joe Hoolahan said he applied to Advance Queensland in December and described the application process as long and instructive.
