If your overflowing inbox is a constant source of shame and anxiety, instead of deleting all, consider a tool proven to help reduce email clutter and increase productivity: a team collaboration app. Many companies have discovered that collaboration apps – think Slack and Microsoft Teams, to name a few – can be effective at reducing the back-and-forth of email chains by streamlining internal communication. But isn’t that just swapping a mountain of email for a relentless barrage of instant messages from people who expect you to reply immediately? If it is, then you’re doing something wrong. The best team collaboration apps do so much more than allow employees to chat with an individual coworker or an entire team in real time. They also provide features to foster collaboration, enhance workflow, and increase team performance. Glip is one such feature-packed app: it offers video chat, unlimited messages, storage, and integrations, as well as an impressive array of special capabilities aimed at boosting productivity and engagement, including team messaging, file sharing, and task management. Best of all, it’s completely free to use.

Glip’s Features

Superior team messaging: Communication may be at the center of teamwork, but only if that communication can be easily tracked and accessed whenever and wherever team members need it. (This is where email can become burdensome and overwhelming.)

Glip’s team messaging hub organizes and prioritizes communication by project or business functions, so employees can reduce email clutter and information overload and instead focus on the work that needs to be accomplished. The best part? Messaging, along with posts, storage, and integration, is unlimited. Convenient file sharing: Having instant access to all assets needed for a project is essential for a team to maintain momentum. That’s why Glip’s file-sharing feature is so valuable for businesses, allowing users to share files from their computer (or pulled through integrations with cloud storage tools like Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and Evernote) directly into the conversation stream. This way you don’t waste time toggling back and forth between apps or searching your beast of an inbox for project-related documents. Everything you need is right there on one screen in Glip. Another convenient feature that streamlines productivity: collaborative document editing, including solid image and PDF markup tools. Task management: Glip’s team calendar and built-in task management tool are a couple of its standout features. Users can easily create, assign, share, and track tasks in any team or conversation – without having to switch over to another project management app.

Glip’s task management is also fun to use, especially if you’re someone who loves to organize. Color code tasks based on urgency or category. Filter tasks by status, project, assignees, deadline, teams, and more. The sophisticated interface makes it easier than ever to track team progress and hold your employees accountable. The struggle of emptying your inbox is real, but you can save yourself the hassle by trying Glip for free today.
