Founded in 2012, Zennify began with a clear belief: the right technology, applied with care and urgency, can solve real problems for real people. That belief was tested early during a public health emergency in Haiti, where our founders built a Salesforce powered IoT solution to monitor vaccine temperatures in real time. The system helped establish a new global standard and shaped how we operate today. Zennify is now a trusted consulting partner delivering enterprise scale transformation across North America. We have completed more than 600 Salesforce projects and 200 data and AI engagements, earning a 4.9 out of 5 CSAT. Our team holds 750 plus certifications and continues to expand in capability and impact. We specialize in Salesforce, nCino, MuleSoft, Twilio, and Databricks. We focus on outcomes that matter. We listen with intent. We deliver with discipline.
