New app facilitates better communication between all staff

This article is brought to you by Retail Technology Review: New app facilitates better communication between all staff.

MintCentral, the easy-to-use, customisable employee engagement app, is adding an audio messaging facility to its platform.

MintCentral boosts productivity in the workforce by ensuring there is a constant flow of communication between co-workers and employers, helping to create engaged and motivated employees. The app is used in several industry sectors including retail and hospitality, where there are disparate workforces. The addition of audio functionality expands the ways in which companies can engage with their staff.

MintCentral Managing Director Iain Bell comments "We are a flexible and nimble company. This innovation originated from a conversation with a MintCentral client who suggested that having the capability to send and receive audio messages between the team would further enhance their internal communications".

With MintCentral, communication is made simple, with key business benefits including:
