An office is much like a living organism.  Every department, every role, and every individual functions as a vital part of that greater body. And while it may not have a literal brain, its communication system acts very much like a nervous system. It’s quietly ensuring that signals travel, tasks align, and responses are timely. […]

Poor communication costs businesses more than $1.2 trillion a year, and that’s just within the United States alone. Now imagine that number echoing through a global world where your team, clients, and partners aren’t just down the hall, but spread across time zones, cultures, and Wi-Fi connections. Remote work has made us more connected than […]

When you’re running a small business, every little thing hits a little harder. One lost update. One ambiguous message. One minute’s lag. That is all it takes to get the feeling that everything is slipping through your fingers. We know the feeling — because we’ve lived it. Chanty didn’t start in a big shiny office […]

With so many communication tools flooding the market, you might wonder: What kind of monster is this? How do you can actually tame it and make it work for your team? In the corporate world, every day feels like a juggling act. We try not to drop a message, a team meeting, a client call, […]

Why do communication apps multiply like stars scattered across the sky? Because communication itself isn’t a single thread — it’s a tapestry woven from many strands. Some conversations happen in words spoken aloud, fast and fluid. Others unfold silently through gestures, expressions, or a glance. Some messages are carefully crafted in writing, precise and thoughtful. […]

We live in the buzzy, technology-enriched world where data leaks and security scares feel less rare disasters and more like background noise. You send a message, share a file, drop a quick “FYI” in a chat – and then quietly wonder where it might travel next. In this reality, choosing the right encrypted messaging app […]

Not so long ago, calling was the fastest way to get an answer. If something was urgent, you picked up the phone. Texting existed, but it played a supporting role. Today, work communication looks very different. Many everyday interactions happen through free text and call apps – tools that allow people to message and make […]

No one wakes up in the middle of the night with a sudden urge to look for a secure messaging app. At least, most people don’t. Yet we live in a world where a large part of our personal and professional lives is constantly shared, stored, and tracked. We click “accept cookies” without reading. We […]

Some businesses can’t rely on generic chat solutions. Industries like finance, healthcare, and government manage sensitive data and complex workflows that demand custom chat systems. Building a chat from scratch, however, can be time-consuming, costly, and resource-intensive, requiring skilled developers, secure infrastructure, and ongoing maintenance. This is exactly why Chat as a Service (CaaS) exists. […]

You know that feeling when you are about to get to work on some project, but can’t seem to find the latest update on it? Someone mentioned it in a meeting; another dropped a note in the group chat, and there’s probably an e-mail about it somewhere-if only you could remember the subject line. The […]

If you are tired of being at the mercy of third-party platforms, then it is only natural that you would want full control over the tools you use. For many teams, the need to take ownership of your own tools grows bigger with each passing day. After all, why stick to a service that doesn’t […]

One day, a short “Okay.” in a team chat that suddenly feels colder than an Arctic breeze. No smiley. No thumbs-up. Just that dot. In a world where remote and hybrid work have turned most of our communication into written text, the absence of facial expressions and tone leaves a lot to interpretation – often […]

As we are building Chanty – team communication app, we make sure to check our competitors, analyze them from a customer’s perspective and learn about their pros and cons. We’ve already written a few reviews on Slack alternatives, compared Slack vs Flock and Slack vs Skype. The insights we received helped us come up with […]

Every type of team will encounter hiccups in the workplace from time to time. Whether these disagreements are about team projects or current affairs, the root of the issue can often be found in cultural differences. This is especially true as the world becomes increasingly globalized and teams are made up of members with various […]

Your day starts with a ping – than another, and another. Before your coffee even cools, your calendar looks like a Tetris board packed with all kinds of invites. Brainstorming session, team sync, catch up, alignment call … and suddenly you’re wondering when you actually get to work. According to recent meetings statistics by Fellow, […]

Workplace communications can be fraught with difficulties. Office politics, personality clashes, and other factors can mean that communications can break down. Poor communication can negatively impact team productivity and overall business performance. Its effects can ripple through employee well-being, team dynamics, and workplace culture. Finding ways to overcome these challenges is key to fostering an […]

Communication is the key to any healthy relationship. You wouldn’t expect your loved ones to read your mind, would you? (Ahem..at least not all of the time) So why should your customers and employees have to do all of the guesswork? The single biggest mistake most companies make is the failure to communicate, losing their […]

A good communication strategy glues a business together. A bad communication strategy can pull it apart. An effective manager is always looking for the best mediums of communication for their business, but workplace communication isn’t just a matter of keeping in touch. In fact, it plays a critical role in fostering collaboration, improving productivity and […]

In today’s workplace, casually strolling over to a coworker’s desk for project discussions is becoming rare. Instead, real-time interactions are being replaced by asynchronous communication methods.  Even in the office, colleagues are often occupied and prefer messages through chat platforms. This shift towards asynchronous communication allows remote employees to stay connected without missing critical discussions […]

We all know good communication is essential to strong relationships in our work and personal lives. Communication is the glue that holds relationships, families, and friendships together. At work, it can be the difference between a project succeeding or failing—or even between a business floundering or thriving.  There’s also a financial incentive to communicate effectively. […]

Darwin once said that we do not adapt, but perish. This has never been more true than it is today. Digital marketing platforms have become incredibly influential. We all need to be extremely flexible and agile if we want to keep up with the current marketing landscape. With the pandemic, the world has started to […]

Technological advancement is growing exponentially. Every day, there is something new that helps businesses reach their potential, and opens up many new opportunities for them. Innovative solutions play a positive role in creating new jobs and motivate employees to develop their skills.  It’s no secret that improving skills and developing them helps professionals move up […]

Poor communication could be shrinking your paycheck and costing a single company over $60 million annually. Small companies aren’t immune to poor communication woes, either. Communication blunders cost $420,000 per year in companies with 100 employees or fewer. Big or small, poor communication costs companies money, remote work statistics show. This loss of revenue can […]
