For mid-sized businesses and large enterprises

Connect your deskless workers with an employee app

The best way to create an engaged workforce is through creating a company culture of engaged users. There is perhaps no better engagement platform than the mobile device.

With workers using their smartphones over three hours a day on average, branded mobile apps for internal communications have become the go to employee engagement solution.

Mobile Employee Branding

Image alt text

Visual branding is central to every employer branding strategy. That's why tchop offers fully customizable apps in the look and feel of your brand - with your logo, the colors of your brand and, if you want, even with your custom font.

This branded experience will put your logo on the home screen of your employee's mobile devices, but will also promote your brand outside of the app with every chat message or push notifications.

And because you want your employees to use the app on a daily or even hourly basis, user experience is key. Therefore, our native apps are extremely easy to use, fast and match your brand experience.

Flexible content structure

If you want users to use an app on a frequent basis, fresh and relevant content is the relevant factor. tchop™ provides a flexible structure of channels and mixes, which enables you to dynamically fulfil the needs of different target groups and stakeholders within one single branded app. Thanks to built-in user management you can connect users to channels and create custom news feeds for each target group or part of your organization.

You can set up a channel for
  • img
    every regional office, shop or department within a big, decentralized organization
  • img
    the top management, so that decision makers find daily press clippings or other important reads in one place
  • img
    part time project teams that need to work together across the organization
  • img
    timely limited, special occasions like events or product launches

Each channel is independent in terms of content structure and has its own editorial dashboard. That means each team or department can curate, edit and distribute content for its own target groups. In its own language.

Mixing content for mobile usage

Within a channel you can curate and create an unlimited amount of mixes. A mix is a news feed around a certain topic. It can hold all kinds of content: images, videos, text posts, links, tweets etc. You can use it both for dynamic and frequently updated content or static service information that needs to be available all the time.

Mixes within employee apps are often used for different topics like
  • General company news
  • Media Coverage & Monitoring
  • Announcements
  • Selected social media content
  • News from work council or other groups in the organization
  • Educational content
  • Competitive analysis
  • Fun and entertainment news

Every team can add, edit and manage content independently in their mix. Everybody gets easily involved and motivated instead of one small team or person possibly becoming a bottleneck for all the output (unless, of course, you prefer that setting). The way users can add and publish content is incredibly easy and everybody understands how it works within minutes.

In any case, you always have full control over who can contribute, edit or just read.

Integrate existing content, tools and services

The best employee app is the one that most easily fits into the processes your employees are already used to. That's why our platform is built around the idea of curation. tchop™ integrates with your existing internal communications, services and work tools like Slack without any IT implementation needed.

tchop™ can import and link all kinds of existing content:
  • img
    content and news published in your intranet
  • img
    news from your company blog or press releases from your media centre
  • img
    Posts from twitter, facebook, instagram or youtube
  • img
    Service information from canteen menus to all kinds of announcements (e.g. published as PDFs)
  • img
    Online survey or feedback tools (e.g. survey monkey)
  • img
    Time tracking or scheduling tools
  • img
    Forms for vacation requests, sick leaves or other internal processes

tchop™ is like a thin layer that lets you curate content from a variety of sources into one branded app. So that your workforce can find what's relevant in one place.

And the best thing: with our «integration» feature you can fully automate the import of most of these contents and services. With a smart setup of integrations you can have a daily updated employee app with almost no additional work needed.

Test run with a limited group

Before you rollout any solution we always recommend setting up a test run with a limited number of team members. Let them test the solution and see if this is something the rest of the company will use.

tchop™ lets you kickstart such a test run within days and we're happy to help you, contributing with our experience. Thanks to our analytics dashboard you can find out what engages your users and what kind of content they prefer.

For the distribution of your app to your workforce tchop™ covers all potential options: you can use the public app store via our account or yours or use your internal mobile device management. For tests we can provide download links and invite specific users.

We provide you with a full service and deploy your apps where you need them
