Solving Key Frontline Challenges
){kind=icon}
Lack of Centralised Communication
Staffbase’s intranet-focused structure creates silos between desk and frontline employees. Important updates often fail to reach employees without company emails. Flip automatically syncs SharePoint news and sends targeted updates to ensure employees receive critical information at the right time — even without a company email.

Complex Communication Structure
Staffbase’s platform relies heavily on IT and content managers to publish and maintain content. This slows down urgent communication. Flip’s admin control allows HR and Comms teams to manage content directly without ongoing IT support — saving time and ensuring messages are delivered faster.

Disconnected Frontline Workforce
Staffbase struggles to provide effective two-way communication for non-desk employees. Flip’s Live Streaming feature allows leadership to deliver real-time updates for announcements, training, or crisis communication — ensuring all employees stay informed.

Inconsistent Knowledge Sharing
Staffbase lacks an integrated task management tool, forcing companies to rely on external platforms to assign and track tasks. Flip’s Native Task Management empowers managers to assign and track tasks directly in the app — reducing confusion and improving accountability.

Limited HR Capabilities for Frontline Staff
Staffbase does not offer integrated HR mini-apps for shift planning, time-off requests, or payroll. Flip’s HR Mini-Apps allow employees to access critical HR functions directly within the app, eliminating the need for multiple portals.
