Our take
Communicating with teams and employees that aren't geographically nearby is a major challenge for many companies. Designed to increase the efficiency and management of remote working, PlayerLync focuses on closing the gap between headquarters and frontline workers.
The company provides an easy-to-use platform that offers space for training and development as well as communications between corporate and on-the-ground workers. Its software offers easy data synchronization with mobile devices, ensuring timely communication with every employee, which means they always have access to the information they need to work their best.
A partnership with Jamf has allowed PlayerLync to simplify and secure its shared device deployments. It allows for wireless, single sign-on working without the need for IT pros to touch the device. The benefits of this have become even more obvious as time has passed, with the boom in popularity of remote and hybrid working models.
PlayerLync's service is applicable to many different industries, including restaurants, healthcare, retail, and sports teams, and its comprehensive offering has given it a boost in the market's early days. Though it is likely see more and more competition, the company has made a strong start. In 2023, it was acquired by Intertek Group, and reported it will become a part of the Group's People Assurance business.
