Erratic communication is more common in small and medium-sized businesses than most people think. Whether relying on different tools, in-person conversations, or watercooler chats, the fragmented communication channels are the great wall that hinders organizations to maximize their full potential.
Without a centralized system, important information can get lost or delayed, leading to misunderstandings, missed deadlines, and inefficient collaboration. What’s more, it can lead to missed opportunities, customer dissatisfaction, delays in decision-making, decreased productivity, and strained relationships among team members.
Recognizing this pain point and taking steps to improve communication processes, such as implementing centralized communication platforms, establishing clear protocols, and fostering a culture of effective communication, can help SMBs overcome this challenge and enhance their overall efficiency and success.
This is a gap that Spike aims to bridge. As the first collaborative email platform, Spike unifies email, chat, calendar, calls, team collaboration, and tasks in one seamless feed. The app is available for iOS, Android, Mac, PC, and web browsers, in a freemium-based model. What’s more, it enables real-time conversations and live collaboration without switching between apps, resulting in higher productivity and greater team impact.
Today, the company extends its commitment to optimizing communication experiences for SMBs with the launch of Spike for Teams, an end-to-end email and team chat service that delivers an unparalleled unified communication and collaboration experience for small-to-medium-sized businesses. This includes agencies, law firms, IT firms, development agencies, and anyone who needs to collaborate efficiently.
Defragmenting the Communication Landscape
Spike for Teams revolutionizes the way businesses handle their communication challenges by incorporating conversational email, messaging, video conferencing, AI-assisted services, project management, and collaborative document management, all in one convenient space. As a result, businesses can enjoy the benefits of simplified billing, significant cost savings, and a seamless end-user experience.
Spike for Teams presents a comprehensive hosted email and team chat solution, facilitating seamless communication among internal teams and external counterparts such as partners, clients, and vendors. This service bridges the gap and enables effective collaboration, even if the recipients are not on Spike itself.
Moreover, Spike provides users with the freedom to choose their email domain or easily acquire a custom domain directly from Spike. This ensures secure, dependable, and easily retrievable email and messaging functionalities. Teams can effortlessly oversee their entire communication process through web-based clients, mobile apps, and desktop applications, promoting straightforward and efficient collaboration.
With Spike for Teams, users can effortlessly switch between different modes of communication. For instance, they can initiate a video meeting directly from an email or elevate a chat conversation to an audio call. This flexibility allows teams to work together seamlessly on projects, fostering improved teamwork, enhanced efficiency, and an accelerated pace of business operations.
Dvir Ben Aroya, CEO of Spike, stated, “Spike has been recognized as the world’s leading conversational email app on the market with more than 1 million active users globally. Now, we’re taking our vision of modern and unified communication and collaboration to the next level by launching an integrated email and messaging service for businesses.”
He continued, “Spike for Teams enables support teams to deliver rapid, precise responses using customizable message templates. It allows agencies to deliver top-tier service to their clients through various channels—email, chat, voice, and video. Startups can keep everyone on the same page using private groups and public channels. As the only communication and collaboration platform built on the technology that powers email, Spike for Teams has a unique edge over platforms that often require everyone to be on the same platform for effective communication.”
