Simpplr Intranet
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Simpplr is used by our communications team as our intranet and communications platform across the company. It's our main directory to find out more about our staff, including phone directory, place of work, etc. We have news fields, updates, volunteering information, photos of workplaces, and what everyone is up to. It's a real hub for everything about our company. Staff can receive/make shoutouts, and we also have training documentation for our numerous systems. A great library for useful information.
Pros
- It's a great document library for everything to timesheets through to expenses
- Great friendly fresh feel to the interface
- User information is easily synced with AD/AAD and other sources
- Great 'People' section where staff can get to know their colleagues
- Great 'Apps' section where you can add links for all the sites our users need access to
Cons
- I don't like the name. It's actually not simpler to spell Simpplr. Nice product, daft name.
- I'd like to see the people section stand out more and have a bolder collaboration side to it. It would be awesome to collaborate on documents together via a screen share facility.
- Video calling directly via Simpplr would be awesome.
Likelihood to Recommend
It's well suited as a central point for your company. It can easily be branded for your every need and showcase everything that's going on for your users. The mobile app is excellent and gives the full package on your mobile device so that you're always in tune with what's going on at your workplace. There are loads of shoutouts and constant uploads of team photos and excursions. We work for a really active company, so there are always loads getting posted on a day-to-day basis. It breaks up the monotony of staring at a spreadsheet when you see your colleagues having fun while working.
