Push-to-talk for teams

One channel for the whole crew, from shift start to handover

Everyone on the same channel hears the same words at the same moment, and the people running the shift can see who is actually on. No accounts to create, no invitations to send, nothing to administer before the first shift.

Getting a message to the group

The same update, told three ways

A team update has to reach everyone on shift, not the one person who happens to be looking at a screen.

Running a shift

The four things a team actually needs

A six-digit channel instead of invitations

There is no workspace to set up and no seat to buy. Everyone types the same six-digit number and a nickname, and the crew is on the air. Adding a subcontractor to the channel for one week takes one number, and removing them is just as simple.

Roles, so the channel stays orderly

A channel has an owner, admins and members. The owner can promote someone to admin, and admins can mute a member or remove one from the channel. Ownership can be handed to someone else when the person who created the channel changes project.

You can see who is on before you speak

Every member shows as online, listening or offline. A supervisor does not have to call three people to learn who is already on site, and nobody ends up talking into an empty channel thinking the whole team is listening.

What you missed is replayed in order

Step away, drive through a dead spot, or be in the background on another app: voice that arrived while you were unavailable is kept and replayed automatically in the order it was spoken. The handover you half-heard is not lost.

Teams that run on this

Built for groups with a shift, not an audience

If the same handful of people need each other several times an hour, this is the shape of tool that fits.

Site crews

One channel covering the ground floor, the upper levels and whoever is running the crane.

Warehouse and depot teams

Loading bays, forklifts and the gate hearing the same instruction at once.

Security shifts

A patrol reporting in, and a control room that can see who is on the channel.

Event crews

Stewards, gates and stage hands coordinating while an event is live.

Teams spread across sites

Two or three locations that have to stay one conversation instead of three phone trees.

Mixed-language teams

The interface is available in nineteen languages, so each person can use their own.

Team essentials

What the team gets on day one

Nothing here needs a company account, an IT ticket or a training session.

1
Roles that keep order

Owner, admin and member, with mute, remove and ownership transfer, so one person can keep a noisy channel usable.

2
Talk with the phone put away

A one-second press of the volume-up key starts talking with the screen off, which is how people actually use this on site.

3
A channel that stays open all shift

Background listening keeps the channel alive with the screen off, and the app detects a dead connection and reconnects on its own.

4
Nineteen languages

The interface switches language instantly, with right-to-left layout for Arabic and Urdu, so a mixed crew each reads their own.

Questions a team lead asks before rolling it out

The short answers. The full ones are in the FAQ.

Do I have to create an account for every team member?

No. There are no user accounts at all. Each person installs the app, picks a nickname and types the shared six-digit channel number.

How do I manage who is in the channel?

The channel has an owner, admins and members. An admin can mute a member or remove them from the channel, and the owner can transfer ownership to someone else.

Can I control who is allowed to speak?

There is no per-person speaking permission. In practice a channel stays usable through its roles: an admin can mute someone who is dominating the channel, and an optional password keeps outsiders out entirely.

What happens when someone leaves the team?

An admin removes them from the channel. Because there is no account to disable and no contact list involved, removal from the channel is the whole job.

How long does it take a new person to learn it?

The interaction is one button. In practice the only thing to explain is that a short tap of the volume key changes the volume, while a one-second hold starts talking.

Can we use one phone for two teams?

A team is distinguished by its six-digit channel number. If your teams work on different channels, arrange before the shift which number the phone should be on and switch when the shift changes.

Can we mix it with the handheld radios we already have?

No. Handheld radios and an app-based channel cannot hear each other, so a team running both should treat them as two separate ways to reach people rather than one network.
