New collaboration tool to make online discussions more productive
Business collaboration is most often organized by email, but it isn't always the most efficient way of ensuring things get done and it can be time consuming to deal with.
A recent survey by the McKinsey Institute shows that an average American spends 28 percent -- around 9 hours -- of their work week just dealing with emails. You can see how this time breaks down in infographic form below.
New team messaging platform Hooli aims to free workers from the tyranny of dealing with email by using simple, actionable commands that can be updated and received by all team members in real time.
Messages are sent instantly to all members of a group via a single live document and changes are color-coded so they're easy to spot. It offers a lean interface that's tailored to help online discussions run smoothly and make following up on actions easy.
Unlike chat collaboration tools like Slack and HipChat, Hooli can create actionable tasks from discussions and keep the whole team updated. It also allows progress updates to be made with a single click, so no need to write a long, detailed reply. Messages can be synced across desktop and mobile devices too.
You can try out Hooli free for up to three users and 100 meetings. Visit the company's website to find out more.
