Team chat
One-to-one and group chats per site, team or shift, kept apart from personal messengers.
A team communication app for people without a work email.
Chat, announcements and a company feed for deskless teams — separate from personal WhatsApp and always tied to the right site.
Chat & feed
What Cerqa team communication does
Announcements
Send to selected groups and see who has read the message.
Company feed
News, photos and wins in one feed instead of an email list nobody opens.
Groups follow the org
Move someone to another site and their groups change with them.
Multilingual teams
Content can be provided in several languages for mixed crews.
Next to the work
Chat sits beside the schedule, tasks and hours — not in a sixth app.
Why WhatsApp breaks down at work
Personal numbers circulate, leavers stay in groups, and instructions disappear between voice notes. A dedicated work chat keeps the two apart: when someone leaves, access ends and the conversation stays with the company.
Reach exactly the people you mean
Not every message is for everyone. Send to a site, a team or a shift, and use read receipts on announcements to confirm the message landed before the shift starts.
Privacy & works councils
Questions for any vendor — our answers.
Before you commit to any workforce software, get these points in writing — from us and from every other vendor. Our answers are below; we go deeper in the demo.
- Data processing agreement:Is there a written processing agreement covering your employee data?
Yes. We provide a DPA under Art. 28 GDPR and sign it with you before your team starts using the app.
- Where data lives:In which region is the data stored and processed?
Hosting and database run on Supabase. The exact region and the sub-processor list are set out in writing in the DPA — not only on request.
- Employee representation:Which settings can be configured to fit your works council or staff agreement (location sharing, reporting)?
Location sharing is opt-in per person — refuse it and clock-ins still record, just without coordinates. Reporting and access scope can be restricted per role. The contested points are settings you negotiate concretely in a works agreement.
- Deletion & export:How is data deleted, and how do you export everything if you switch tools?
Time and absence records stay for the legal retention period, then are deleted. All core and time data exports as CSV/Excel — you take your data with you when you switch.
