Groups, Timelines & Targeted Messaging — Speakap
Content goes to a group, a timeline or one person, with membership and rights managed per group rather than globally — so a shift change at one site does not push a notification to eight hundred people at the other forty.

Key Features
Notification fatigue is the failure mode
Frontline platforms do not usually die from missing features. They die when staff receive twenty irrelevant notifications in a week and turn them off. Everything about the targeting model exists to prevent that, and it is worth designing deliberately rather than discovering later.
Three levels of reach
A message can be private between sender and recipient, shared with a specific group, or shared with the entire network. Choosing correctly is a habit that has to be established at launch, because the default drifts toward broadcasting.
Groups own their own content
Each group has its own timeline, and content shared in it is accessible only to that group's members depending on the group type. A site, a department or a project can have a genuine working space rather than a filtered view of one shared feed.
Rights are per group, not global
Every member holds a role within each group that determines their privileges there, separate from their role at network level. A shift supervisor can administer their own site's group without gaining rights across the organisation.
Membership administered, not ad hoc
Group membership is managed by designated administrators at group or organisation level. People join and leave through a process, which is what makes access removal reliable when someone changes role or leaves.
Head office does not see everything by default
Visibility follows the group and role model rather than seniority. This tends to surprise people, and it is usually the right answer — staff share more openly in a space that is genuinely theirs.
Private messages stay private
Direct messages are accessible only to sender and recipient, which needs to be explicit when a platform is also carrying management communications.

Frontline Employee Communication Platform
A communications platform built for staff who do not sit at a desk — retail floors, kitchens, warehouses, cleaning rounds, security posts. Reaches people who have no company email account and no reason to open an intranet, which is where most internal communication quietly fails.
Branded Mobile App — iOS & Android
Your own app in the App Store and Google Play under your name and identity, with updates shipped on a fortnightly cycle. A non-branded option running under the Speakap app exists for teams that want to launch without an app-store presence, and custom domain support comes with the branded tier.
HR System Integration & Directory Sync
User accounts flow from the HR system by XML, CSV, connector or Active Directory import instead of being maintained by hand. In sectors with heavy turnover this is the difference between an accurate staff list and a directory nobody trusts after six months.
Single Sign-On & Access Control
SAML 2.0 single sign-on, OAuth 2.0 for the API, role-based rights at network and group level, and remote logout of a lost device. Access tokens expire hourly and every active token is revoked when a password changes.
