Mattermost 5.23 includes improvements that will help your team collaborate more effectively.

Times have been extremely trying, but we’re in it together. And together, with @ProfitWell, we’ve launched the Subscription Stimulus Package to help fuel your company’s growth. Here’s everything you need to know.

Businesses are laser-focused on customer experience and customer service today. And as work transitions from in-person to remote, customers are heavily relying on digital channels for help. This is no different for your employees — they need digital internal help desk solutions now more than ever. Companies are leaning even more heavily on technology to keep their customers and employees connected while the world is in survival mode.

Now that we know a number of meetings could have just as easily been emails, a vast majority of emails could be skipped altogether by managing your business with the help of Scoro. With this update, we’re adding a brand new tool to Scoro for handling various business expenses. In addition, we’re upgrading the Planner for even more convenient work planning, and making additions to Zapier for creating custom workflows to further increase work efficiency.

A guest post from Alon Eisenberg at Trusted Shops. Building trust for your website is essential to building a loyal customer base. Why?

When you’re working remotely, keeping your stakeholders informed on the progress of your work becomes even more important to keep teams in sync and projects moving forward.

That’s why we’re excited to announce our new Status feature.

Forget what you think you know about customer support, for now. In just a few short months, COVID-19 has transformed the way businesses and customers interact. As customers, we’ve heard from just about every company we’ve ever done business with. Remember that hair salon you went to in college? How about that time you bought dad new grill equipment from an online supplier? One after another, subject lines read like concerned emails from friends.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that team messaging platforms are widely popular among employees. Data shows that 71% of employees in the tech industry and 62% of the workforce in international companies rely on these tools. They’re simply more efficient than email; you get instant responses, have an easier time staying productive, and can better foster relationships (the foundation of great collaboration).
