The development in the IT and digital sector has truly transformed how businesses are run and managed. From running day to day affairs of the business to managing and working towards the major goals of the business, everything has been transformed to a great extent by the evolution and rise of digital tools. The COVID-19 pandemic has only accelerated the process of making businesses and their owners think more on the lines on how to keep their businesses as much online as possible so that they have a sustainable business model at all times. This growth has been driven by innovative business apps and digital solutions that have helped businesses make the jump towards owning the digital space. Slack is one chat-based business app that offers a great communication solution for teams that can’t physically connect with each other at all times. The app is the WhatsApp of team and business communication and offers some fantastic tools to keep conversations between different team members as organized as possible.

The basic model of the chat-based business app is that it allows for team members to converse with each other through the app in a truly organized manner. The app essentially tries to create your office space online by providing you different threads and forums where you can communicate with your colleagues. You can have your own meeting rooms where official discussions are held while you can also create your own coffee lounge where you can relax and discuss your hobbies and interests. The segregation is great and with wonderful data sharing and target setting tools, the app has a lot to offer to business teams who want to work together online.

It is very easy to sign up your business with the app as you simply need to provide your company’s name and your email address. Once you have done this, the app would create a digital space for your company where you can add other members of the team to start the conversations. The best thing about the app is that it is very user-friendly and intuitive and users never really find any learning curve after joining and opening the app. It is so easy to signup, add members and start your own threads that you will be amazed by the simplicity of it all.

The chat-based business app has five main tabs namely DMs, Mentions, Search, Me and Home. Home is the main tab and here you will find all the ‘channels’ that have been created by you or other team members. Each channel has a topic and it has a certain purpose. You can add people to the channel and add a description for the channel as well. This is definitely the app’s best feature as it allows you to segregate conversations into different channels so that users always know what can be shared in which channel/thread. Home also provides you the option to directly send messages to any group member. These are private messages and can only be read by the sender and the receiver. ‘DMs’ is the section where you can take a look at all the private messages that have been sent or received by you. ‘Mentions’ is the section where you can see the channels where users have mentioned you. ‘Search’ is where you can look for certain files, folders, channels and other conversations. ‘Me’ is the section where you can create and develop your own profile.
