Our take
Running a thriving online community is a fantastic way for organisations to boost engagement within their teams, but the current hosting options are limited. Many existing platforms for online communities are limited in functionality and leave little room for customisation, whilst neglecting basic features such as analytics and privacy.
Hivebrite provides an online platform for the creation and management of online communities, taking an end-to-end approach by handling everything from the initial creation to the provision of engagement analytics. The platform includes a variety of flexible management tools for flexible community frameworks, in addition to administrative analytic tools to provide actionable insights on how to boost engagement.
Hivebrite's unique approach recognizes that not all online communities have the same needs, providing a wide range of customizable and optional tools for specialized purposes whilst maintaining a focus on engagement analytics. Most recently, the company acquired AI-powered matching company Orbiit to support the further enhancement of its offering.
