Vantage Workforce

Channels, groups, and direct messages. One place.

A channel for every location and team, groups anyone can start, and direct messages, in the same app as the schedule. Messages carry reactions, replies, read receipts, photos, and files, and any of them can be forwarded to another chat. Admins decide who can do what. Nobody hands out a personal number.

Free for teams of up to 10 people

  • Channels, groups, and direct messages

    A channel for every location, team, or project. Groups anyone can start with the people they pick. One-to-one messages that never touch a personal number.

  • Reactions, replies, and read receipts

    React with any emoji, reply so the answer sits next to the question, and see exactly who has read a message and who has not.

  • Photos, files, and forwarding

    Send a photo from the camera or a file from the phone, and forward any message to another chat. Admins decide who can post, who can add people, and what can leave a channel.

Every conversation, sorted.

Channels are set up by admins for a location, a department, or a project. Groups are started by anyone, with the people they choose. Direct messages are one-to-one or a few people. All three sit in one list on the phone and on the web, with unread counts and who is online.

Channels and groups

For the whole site, the whole team, or the people on one project.

  • Channels for locations, departments, and projects, created by admins
  • Groups anyone can start with the people they pick
  • Members added and removed as people join and leave the team list
  • Mentions for a person, a role, or everyone in the channel
  • Pinned messages and a files tab in every channel and group
  • Mute a channel or leave a group without missing direct messages

Direct messages

One-to-one, in the app, with nobody's personal number involved.

  • Message anyone in your workspace, or a few people at once
  • Presence shows who is online, on shift, or away
  • Read receipts on every message
  • Search across every conversation you are in
  • Messages translated into each person's own language, with the original a tap away
  • Notifications on the phone, the desktop, and the web
  • When someone leaves the company, their access ends and the history stays

The small things that make chat work.

Reactions, replies, read receipts, photos, files, forwarding, and the permissions behind all of it.

  • Reactions and replies

    Tap an emoji on any message. Reply to one and your answer quotes what it answers, so nobody has to scroll back.

  • Who has read it

    Every message shows who has seen it, by name and time, as people catch up. No more "did you see my message?"

  • Photos and files

    Send a photo from the camera or a file from the phone. Previews sit right in the conversation, and every file lands in the files tab.

  • Forward to another chat

    Send a message, photo, or file on to another channel, group, or person, with a note if you want.

  • Permissions

    Admins decide who can post, who can start groups, who can add people, and what can be forwarded out, per channel.

The apps you already use, inside the chat.

Each person connects their own accounts once, in Settings. Calls, invites, files, signatures, designs, and code arrive as cards everyone in the chat can act on, and a connection only ever acts as the person who made it.

  • Link previews and pull requests

    Paste a link and it turns into a preview. A GitHub pull request shows whether it is open and how many approvals it has, and you can comment, approve, or merge from the card.

  • Posts from your other tools

    Give a channel a webhook address. Pull requests from GitHub, deploys from Replit, and anything from Zapier or Make arrive marked with the app that sent them.

  • Signatures in the chat

    Send a file through DocuSign from the message box, to people inside the workspace or not. The card ticks off each signer, and the signed copy lands back in the chat.

  • Designs from Canva

    Pick one of your Canva designs and it arrives as an image, in a chat, a Social Planner post, the Library, or an email.

  • Your shifts in your calendar

    One private address puts your shifts, training, and time off into Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar. Meetings there show as busy in chat, without what the meeting is.

  • Your own AI assistant

    Connect the assistant you already use. It answers from your schedule, hours, time off, and company articles, and, if your admin allows it, sends a time off request for you.

  1. Step 1Connect onceSign in to Google, Microsoft, Zoom, GitHub, DocuSign, or Canva from Settings. Admins choose which apps the workspace allows, and who may use each one.

Team Chat questions.

Something else on your mind? Talk to us.

Yes. Conversations stay in sync across the iOS app, the Android app, and the web.

Calls start in Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams, right from a chat, through the account you connect. Everyone in the chat gets a card to join from, and it shows when the call is live. Team Chat does not run calls of its own.

Yes. Each person picks the language they read in, from more than a hundred, and messages in any other language show in theirs, translated by AI. Tap Show original to see a message as it was written. A Spanish speaker and an English speaker can talk in the same chat, each in their own language. Names, links, and numbers stay as they are, and an admin can turn translation off for the workspace.

Yes. Admins set who can start groups, who can post in each channel, and whether people can message across locations. Direct messages can be limited to managers and their own teams.

Yes. Any message, photo, or file can be forwarded to another channel, group, or person. Admins can turn forwarding off for a channel that holds sensitive information.

Direct messages are private to the people in them. Admins can export a conversation's history for compliance, and every export is logged.

Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Google Calendar, Outlook, Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, DocuSign, Canva, and GitHub, each connected by the person who uses it. Replit, Zapier, Make, and any other app can post into a chat through its webhook, and links from anywhere get a preview.

No. A connection belongs to one person and acts only as them, and only for what they do with it. Vantage sees a Google Drive file only when you pick it, and reads only busy times from a calendar, never what the meetings are. Admins choose which apps the workspace allows and who may use them.

Yes, once an admin switches it on. Any AI assistant that supports custom connectors (the open MCP standard) can connect as the person who approves it: it reads their schedule, time off, hours, training, and the company's own articles, and sees nothing they could not. Admins decide whether assistants may also send a time off request or a chat message.

No. Only the person who starts the call or shares the file connects an account. Everyone else joins or opens it from the card. Before a Google Drive, OneDrive, or SharePoint file is sent, Vantage checks who in the chat cannot open it yet and offers to share it with them.

They replace it in Settings. The old address stops working right away, so whoever had it sees nothing more, and they add the new one to their calendar app.

Yes. Admins switch each app on or off for the workspace and choose who may use it. Anyone can disconnect their own account in Settings, and Vantage asks the app to end its access too.
