Simone Meesters
Communications Officer bij Viggo

Ik zou Speakap zonder twijfel aanbevelen aan andere bedrijven – vooral aan groeiende bedrijven. Als je elkaar niet elke dag ziet, kan communicatie lastig worden. Naar mijn mening maakt Speakap het makkelijker en beter.

Jan-Willem Rozendal
Diagnosespecialist Audi bij De Waal Autogroep

We werkten vroeger met Yammer, maar dat was onvoldoende voor onze hele organisatie en niet gebruiksvriendelijk.

Eline Hamelijnck
Marketing Manager bij Lead Healthcare

Speakap is voor ons een tool om alle medewerkers te kunnen bereiken en hen beter te informeren over producten, om met hen in interactie te treden en om hen ambassadeurs te maken.

Anneleen Van Troos
Manager bedrijfscommunicatie bij Kinepolis

Ik zou Speakap zeker aanbevelen aan andere bedrijven, omdat het een modern digitaal platform is, dat heel gebruiksvriendelijk is gezien het erg lijkt op Facebook, dat gebruikt wordt door bijna iedereen, zeker op de baan of in het magazijn.

Emilie Frans
Marketing Coordinator bij LKQ

Een van de grootste verbeteringen die we hebben gezien, is de snelheid waarmee we belangrijke updates aan ons hele team kunnen doorgeven. Bijvoorbeeld wanneer we op het laatste moment wijzigingen ontvangen in het evenementenprogramma of speciale gastverzoeken. We kunnen via Speakap snel de relevante teams informeren.

Janneke Veldhoen
Human Resource Manager bij Hotel Okura Amsterdam

We kozen voor Speakap omdat het structuur brengt in hoe we met elkaar willen communiceren en de communicatiekloof tussen kantoor-, project- en servicemedewerkers overbrugt.
