About TrustYou
TrustYou is hospitality's memory: the platform that unifies what guests feel, what they do and what they ask in a single system. Since 2008, more than 100,000 hospitality businesses have used TrustYou to understand their guests, act on what they learn, and keep the relationship going between stays.
That memory has three parts, built to work as one:
Customer Experience Platform (CXP), the memory of experience: reviews, surveys, sentiment and reputation, captured and acted on across every touchpoint.
Customer Data Platform (CDP), the memory of the customer: every transaction and interaction resolved into one golden profile, and activated through service and marketing communication.
TrustYou Agent, the memory of conversation: one AI agent across every channel, from web to WhatsApp to email, around the clock and in every language, closing the loop so that outbound messages from the CDP and inbound replies to the Agent belong to the same continuous conversation.
Every interaction adds to the memory, so the system knows each guest better than it did the day before.
TrustYou is headquartered in Munich, Germany, and serves hospitality brands in over 165 countries. Learn more at www.trustyou.com.
