Open Intranet homepage — news, bookmarks, events, and quick links in one place
Communication

Communication

Reach every employee — from HQ to the front line.

News and Announcements
Open Source License

News and Announcements

Publish company news with precision targeting and access control. Target by department, location, group, or role. Schedule publication dates, pin important articles, and organize with categories and tags.

Why it matters:

Instead of sending an email that 80% of your organization never reads, publish news on the intranet where it's persistent, searchable, and trackable.

Must-Read Tracking
Open Source License

Must-Read Tracking

Mark any content as "Must Read" and track who has read it, when, and who hasn't. Send automated reminders, set deadlines, and generate compliance reports.

Why it matters:

When a safety procedure changes or a new policy takes effect, you need proof that every employee was informed.

Multi-channel Messenger
Open Source License

Multi-channel Messenger

Reach deskless employees who don't have intranet accounts. Create contact databases, import from CSV, group by department, and send via email or SMS.

Why it matters:

80% of the workforce in retail, healthcare, and logistics doesn't have corporate email or computer access. Multi-channel Messenger bridges this gap.

Knowledge & Documents

Knowledge & Documents

One source of truth for your organization.

Knowledge Base
Open Source License

Knowledge Base

Centralized repository for procedures, instructions, and documentation. Create structured articles with rich text, organize into categories, track version history, and control access per article.

Why it matters:

Procedures, manuals, guidelines, and institutional knowledge in one searchable place.

Document Management
Open Source License

Document Management

Upload files of any type. Link from Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox. Unlimited folder hierarchies with drag-and-drop, per-folder permissions, full-text search within documents, and version control.

Why it matters:

Replace scattered file servers, shared drives, and email attachments with one organized, searchable, access-controlled document repository.

AI-Powered Content
Open Source License

AI-Powered Content

Use AI to draft news articles, announcements, and knowledge base content. Generate headlines, lead paragraphs, summaries, and improve readability.

Why it matters:

Internal communications teams are often small. AI assistance helps them produce more content, faster, while maintaining quality and consistency.

Learning & Training

Learning & Training

Onboard, train, certify.

Learning Management System
Open Source License

Learning Management System

Create courses with multiple lessons, rich content (text, video, quizzes). Assign to users or departments, track progress, issue completion certificates, and set mandatory training deadlines.

Why it matters:

From new employee onboarding to annual compliance training — structured learning with tracked completion ensures everyone has the knowledge they need.

Forms & Workflows

Forms & Workflows

Digitize internal processes.

Internal Forms
Open Source License

Internal Forms

Drag-and-drop form builder with text, number, date, file upload, signature, and conditional fields. Multi-step forms, email notifications, automated routing, submission dashboards, and PDF export.

Why it matters:

Replace paper forms, email requests, and spreadsheet tracking with structured digital forms.

Consultation Process
Open Source License

Consultation Process

Structured decision-making and multi-level approval workflows. Create consultation requests, assign for review, track decisions with a complete audit trail.

Why it matters:

Internal approvals follow a clear, documented process instead of email chains where decisions get lost.

People & Organization

People & Organization

Know your team.

Employee Directory
Open Source License

Employee Directory

Employee profiles with photo, contact info, role, department. Organizational chart, search by any attribute, department browsing, and LDAP/Active Directory sync.

Why it matters:

In a large organization, knowing who does what and how to reach them is essential.

Groups and Access Control
Open Source License

Groups and Access Control

Unlimited nested groups with smart access inheritance. Restrict access to pages, documents, folders, and forms per group. Combined group-based and individual permissions.

Why it matters:

Different departments need different information. Groups ensure that HR sees HR content, sales sees sales content.

Calendar and Events
Open Source License

Calendar and Events

Company-wide, department, and team calendars. Event creation with details and attachments. Sync with Outlook and Google Calendar. Room/resource booking and recurring events.

Why it matters:

One shared calendar replaces the confusion of competing schedule sources.
