Our take

Zipline is a communication and task management platform that helps business HQs across a range of industries to communicate with their field teams. In the modern digitizing landscape, its tools empower staff to increase productivity and boost morale by providing agile communication and engagement solutions, granting the ability to relay true and timely information where it needs to be.

The platform ensures that all communication channels are simplified into a single system. This means employees don't have to coordinate information from different sources - avoiding the loss of, or failure to prioritize, crucial information.

Zipline counts a host of national chains amongst its client base, including Sephora, L.L.Bean, Gap, Hy-Vee, Lush Cosmetics, TOMS and Torrid. As the first solution on the market to combine communication and task management, the company cemented itself as a must-have tool for many businesses, and continues to add more and more different industries to the list of those it serves.
