Shift based workplaces love Tommy’s fully featured Team Messaging. Included with all plans, connect and communicate with ease all within your Employee App.

Instant messaging for your hourly workforce that engages your teams, reduces misinformation, boosts knowledge sharing and improves overall employee happiness with respectful smart notifications and message routing to promote optimal on-shift performance and reduced off-shift interruption.

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATIONS

Individual chats, group messaging and topic channels for your mobile workforce

Fast, effective communications that engage your mobile workforce, facilitate knowledge sharing and reduce the need for those time consuming calls and emails that could have been message.

SMART NOTIFICATIONS

Shift worker friendly notifications

Receiving every notification all day every day is not productive and does not promote a healthy work life culture. Tommy allows Teams to define notification preferences based on many things including if a team member is scheduled on or off with defaults applying to clocked off notifications only when a team member has not set their own.

More About Team Messaging

Team messaging permission defaults

Tommy is pre-configured with default team messaging permissions based on what we believe is the most common practice. However, Team Admins are able to manage permissions within Messaging the same as most other features within Tommy which allows you to deploy messaging within your organisation in whichever flavour best suits your operations.

Can I change the notification settings?

Yes. Team Members are always in control of their own devices notification settings, those permissions exist beyond Tommy. However, Tommy itself has a complimentary layer of notification management designed with shift work in mind. Team Members can define their notification preferences dependent upon the day of the week, their availability status, or if they’re clocked on or not. See more about smart notifications

Can I message external (non-team) contacts?

Yes. If you need to communicate with someone external to your Team such as a contractor, supplier, or Customer, Tommy enables Team Managers to add external people as Shared Team Contacts with a singular (whole of team) chat channel with that contact. You may also create 1-to-1 direct chats depending on your permissions. This makes Tommy Messaging an ideal solution for contact centre software integrations or for highly collaborative organisations.

How long are messages retained?

Team Admin’s can set your Teams message retention policy though your subscription level will determine the maximum storage options available. Please see the available Plans for more details.

What if a Team Member doesn’t have Tommy installed?

Sometimes it is impossible for everyone in the team to have Tommy on their device. In these situations messages are saved for when these Team Members next login, though fallback notices of these messages can optionally occur via email and SMS dependent upon Team Settings. SMS Fallback currently requires manual setup for your account, please contact Tommy support for more details. Additional fees apply.
