Why hub

Finally no more app hopping

hub brings all your business emails, instant messages, tasks, and data from other applications into a single interface and automatically groups them by topic. Experience the ultimate workflow and save up to 2 hours of time. Every day.

Too many messages, tasks, and information in too many different systems

Nowadays, getting your work done and collaborating with others involves a plethora of programs for communication, task and information management.
This is also the result of a recent Forrester study. On an average working day
  • 35.4 emails are sent and received
  • 11.2 documents are shared for review or approval
  • 11 conversations are held on instant messaging platforms and
  • 13.1 tasks are completed via core applications.
Each application has its own inbox and to-do list, so you're constantly jumping back and forth. As a result, you struggle to find related information, you can overlook tasks and deadlines, you waste valuable time every day — and it's all very stressful.

Conversations

All important information on a topic, such as emails, comments from your colleagues in a messaging app (such as Microsoft Teams or WhatsApp), notes, and files, are no longer stored in different systems. You'll find everything clearly organized in a single topic-driven conversation.

Seamlessly integrated
task management

If you want, you can simply convert a Smart Conversation into a task for yourself or others to quickly and easily clarify responsibilities, instructions, and deadlines. That way, everyone always knows exactly what they have to do and by when. No more need for additional task management apps or sticky notes.

Conversation
KanBan Board

Group your Smart Conversations by due date, for example, and keep track of who has to do what by when and what needs to be rescheduled. Thanks to the powerful filter function, you can get an overview of the timeline for a specific project and reschedule conversations in no time.

AI-powered Unified Inbox and to-do list

All new emails, instant messages, and tasks come together in a single intelligent Inbox and task list. hub automatically groups them by topic using AI, so you no longer have to waste time sorting and archiving new messages.

Integrated Inbox Zero working concept

Not only can you read and reply to every new message in your Inbox, but you can also coordinate and schedule them. This means you no longer have to leave them in your Inbox, but can easily archive them by topic with one click. You can finally reach "InboxZero" with ease, several times a day.

Fluid Spaces

Use Fluid Spaces for more complex projects that you can also share with others. Fluid Spaces can also be easily embedded in any other standard or self-developed application (like your CRM or ERP system) so that you can seamlessly use all hub functions there, too.
