The Challenge
The company struggled with inefficient communication channels. Important updates, events and blog posts often went unnoticed because the company relied on chat messages and emails, which employees frequently missed.
The primary challenge was to provide a reliable and engaging notification system that kept employees informed and connected.
Codimite's Solution
To meet these needs, Codimite built a progressive web application (PWA) that uses modern web capabilities to improve the user experience. The team chose the PWA framework for four core attributes.
1. Fast and immediate access
The app loads quickly and interacts
smoothly, giving employees
immediate access to content without long wait times.
2. Easy installation
The app includes a manifest file, so users can
install it directly on their devices, much like a native app, without
visiting an app store.
3. Reliable in low network conditions
The app works seamlessly even
when connectivity is poor. Employees may
not receive new notifications without an internet connection, but they can still
access previously received notification content offline.
4. Real-time push notifications
Real-time push notifications keep
employees informed about company events,
alerts and new blog posts, drawing them back into the app for regular interaction.
Notification types delivered
- New blog post alerts: A lock-screen notification that opens the article in the app.
- Birthday notifications: Reminders about employee birthdays, with a “Congratulate” action and an upcoming birthdays list.
- Event reminders: Alerts about upcoming company events.
- Work anniversary reminders: Prompts to recognize colleagues on special days.
- Task reminders: Reminders for important tasks, such as completing a training participation form.
Together, these features ensure employees receive important updates and stay engaged with the company's communication channels.
Business Impact
As a result of these features, the company observed a significant improvement in internal communication. Employees were promptly informed about important events and updates, reducing the likelihood of missed information.
- More reliable communication: Important updates reach employees directly on their devices instead of getting lost in chat and email.
- Higher engagement: Push notifications bring employees back into the app to read blog posts, check events and take part in company life.
- Dependable access: Offline access to past notifications means information stays available even on weak networks.
- Low-friction adoption: Installation from the browser removes app store barriers for employees.
