Our take
Consistent communication between frontline and office workforces is essential for an enterprise to thrive, and digital tools and platforms are often used to make this happen. However, when attempting to provide tools for communication, task management, onboarding and more, software stacks quickly become convoluted, fragmented, and frustrating.
Speakap develops a digital workplace for frontline and office workers to collaborate on, particularly focussing on integrating all essential tools within the same place in the form of a social media platform. The platform provides features for many scenarios such as task management, scheduling and onboarding, but also facilitates integration with existing tools such as Salesforce, Office 365 and Workday.
Whilst the concept of creating a digital workplace to increase communication and engagement within enterprise workforces is nothing new, Speakap has taken a unique stance by focussing on accessibility. By combining the social media presentation of the platform with the all-in-one toolkit and external tool integration, the company has provided an end-to-end SaaS which ensures all scenarios can be handled within the same place, by any employee.
