Empower your workforce with a central intranet hub for company discussions, knowledge sharing, and teamwork. Boost employee engagement and streamline communication across your entire organization.
Keep everyone informed and engaged through a real-time company news feed. Post announcements, updates, and polls in one place so that no one misses critical information. With @mentions and comments, Zoho Connect turns traditional intranet postings into two-way conversations, fostering transparency and a culture of open communication.
Break down silos by creating Groups for departments, projects, or interests. Each group provides its own forum-like discussions and file sharing, so team members can brainstorm and collaborate in context. Integrated chat channels (including audio and video calls) let your UK teams discuss ideas instantly, whether one-on-one or in team channels, keeping everyone connected without relying on external chat apps.
Document and preserve your company’s knowledge in a structured online manual. Zoho Connect’s built-in knowledge base allows you to co-author policies, SOPs, FAQs, and guides collaboratively. Employees can easily search for answers 24/7, reducing repetitive questions and ensuring consistent information. Organize content into manuals and topics – an accessible repository for both new hires and long-time staff to find what they need.
Move beyond conversation into action with Boards – an intuitive task management tool within Zoho Connect. Create boards for projects or initiatives and assign tasks with due dates and owners. Use Kanban-style boards to visualise progress at a glance and ensure accountability. From tracking a marketing campaign’s to-do list to planning an office event, Boards help your team stay organised and focused on their goals.
Build a positive workplace culture with Zoho Connect’s engagement features. Host live Town Hall meetings for Q&A sessions with leadership, or run pulse Surveys to gather feedback from your UK staff. Encourage peer recognition through features like praise posts and badges – for example, a quick thank-you or kudos post to celebrate an achievement. With built-in gamification (in higher editions), you can even introduce friendly competitions and a points system to motivate participation and reward knowledge sharing.
Every organization has unique needs – Zoho Connect lets you address them with custom apps and workflows. Non-technical users can utilize the drag-and-drop builder to create custom forms and apps (for things like event registrations, idea submissions, or asset requests) that capture data right inside your intranet. Set up multi-step workflows to automate routine tasks – such as onboarding checklists or content approval processes – so information flows to the right people automatically. By tailoring Zoho Connect to your processes, you ensure your digital workplace truly works the way you do.
Zoho Connect doesn’t operate in a vacuum – it ties into the tools your teams use every day. Native integrations let you connect with other Zoho apps (like Zoho CRM, Projects, People, and Desk) to unify your business processes. You can also integrate popular third-party platforms such as Microsoft 365 (for user directory and Calendar sync), Google Workspace, and communication tools like Slack. Through APIs and services like Zapier, Zoho Connect can sync data with over a hundred external applications, ensuring your intranet becomes a central hub in your digital workplace rather than yet another isolated system. This means announcements, tasks, and data can flow seamlessly between Zoho Connect and your email, CRM, HR system or any other software – keeping everything and everyone in sync.
Zoho Connect is an internal collaboration platform (think of it as a private social network for your company) that brings your employees, information, and tools together in one place. Instead of conversations being scattered across emails or chats, Zoho Connect provides organised feeds, forums, and groups for focused discussions. It’s especially beneficial for UK businesses with distributed or hybrid teams – helping to keep everyone informed, engaged, and able to contribute ideas. By using Zoho Connect, even a small business can build a strong company culture where knowledge is shared openly and communication is streamlined.
Yes. Zoho Connect offers integrations and an open API, so it can work alongside many popular tools. For instance, you can integrate with Microsoft 365 to sync users and calendars, or use Zapier to connect Zoho Connect with Slack, Trello, and countless other apps. This means you won’t have to abandon your existing tools – Zoho Connect can pull in information or send updates to them. Svennis Cloud Solutions can assist with setting up these integrations, ensuring that Zoho Connect becomes a complementary part of your software ecosystem rather than a siloed platform.
Absolutely. Zoho Connect is cloud-based and accessible on web and mobile, which means your team can stay connected from anywhere (office, home, or on the go). For UK companies embracing hybrid work, Zoho Connect serves as a virtual office space – employees can catch up on the latest announcements, collaborate in group forums, attend a virtual town hall, or complete tasks on their phone or laptop. Features like live town halls, group chats, and instant notifications ensure that even if your workforce is distributed across the UK (or globally), everyone remains engaged and informed in real time.
Zoho Connect offers a Free plan (for up to 5 users) which includes basic features like feeds, a few groups, and limited storage – a great way to try it out. For more capacity and advanced features, the paid plans start with the Starter plan (up to 25 users) at a very affordable per-user cost, and scale up through Enterprise and Ultimate editions for larger businesses. The Starter plan is ideal for small businesses and includes core collaboration tools, whereas the Ultimate plan provides a full suite of intranet features (like gamification and advanced admin controls) for enterprises. Pricing is per user, so you can scale the subscription as your team grows. (See the pricing table above for details – UK pricing is transparent, with monthly or discounted annual billing options.)
Implementing an intranet successfully is not just about technology, but also about understanding people and processes.
