When it comes to communication tools, Microsoft SharePoint is a tried-and-true platform. With over 20 years of success, it’s an excellent choice for document management and collaboration, especially for desk-based teams. However, for frontline employees who are constantly on the move, SharePoint alone might not be enough.
Frontline workers aren’t twiddling their thumbs waiting for the next email; they’re out there, making things happen. They need info that’s fast, easy, and at their fingertips - literally. That’s where an employee communications app (hint: that's us) steps in. It’s the ultimate sidekick for SharePoint, turning it into a mobile-friendly, frontline-ready comms powerhouse.
Now, let’s break down why integrating the two is more than just a “nice-to-have” and how it makes getting stuff done way easier for your team.
Listen, we get it - SharePoint is already baked into your workflows, and it’s a champ for office teams. But your frontline crew? They need a tool that speaks to their reality: they’re out there, on the floor, not chained to a desk. Scrolling through endless emails? Ain’t nobody got time for that. They need the goods. That’s why a mobile-first app like Speakap isn’t just nice; it’s necessary.
Look, no one wants to jump between platforms. By integrating SharePoint with Speakap, you’re creating one unified, mobile-friendly platform where frontline (and desk-based, yep) employees can access everything they need—from news to documents—all in one place.
No tech gymnastics required.
Let’s be honest, getting everyone to actually read updates on SharePoint can feel...well, quite impossible. With the integration, Speakap pushes news right to your team’s phones.
Real-time push notifications mean your workers get the latest info, pronto—so there’s no chance they’ll miss that critical safety update, company news, or shift change.
You’re already using SharePoint to organize and share files, so why switch systems? The integration allows you to:
No extra effort for admins, no learning curve for your team. Just smoother, more efficient workflows that keep everyone in the loop.
SharePoint has some tracking, sure, but it’s not exactly mind-blowing. Speakap gives you real, actionable insights into how your team interacts with updates and content.
Real-time metrics let you see who’s engaged and who’s not, so you can fine-tune messaging and make sure everyone’s on the same page.
Frontline employees are adept at managing daily chaos, yet they lack the time for cumbersome tools that impede their efficiency. Integrating SharePoint with Speakap gives them quick, straightforward access to the info they actually need, without the extra steps.
Here’s how it helps your team work faster, smarter, and with way less hassle:
In short, integrating SharePoint with Speakap makes a complex process an effortless one. Your team has what they need to do their best work—no waiting, no fuss, just smooth, rapid communication that keeps them moving forward.
Next time you’re thinking about sending a critical update via SharePoint, ask yourself: Could this be done faster, better, and more effectively?
The answer is yes (if you integrate it within Speakap ofc).
