Traditional communication methods like email, newsletters, or intranet systems often struggle to be effective because they cause information overload and rely on pull-based communication. The Desktop Ticker overcomes these challenges by using push communication, delivering critical information in real-time directly to employees’ screens without significant disruption.
Small tool, big impact
Taking up just 3% of the screen, the Desktop Ticker transforms desktop displays into real-time communication channels, ensuring important messages remain visible without disrupting workflows. It is prominently placed above all applications, ensures maximum visibility and immediately captures attention with its real-time updates and its moving nature. The ticker reaches all desk-bound employees with time-scheduled, targeted messages, no matter their location. Moreover, it prevents information overload, promotes desired behavior, and tracks engagement through actionable insights.
Enhance message visibility
The Desktop Ticker remains visible over any open application, ensuring that important messages are easily seen. Its continuous display of information means that employees are aware of the latest updates, making it impossible to miss any crucial message. The design of the ticker focuses on brevity, allowing employees to quickly scan and understand the information being presented. By displaying brief information on just 3% of the screen, it ensures that key updates are both visible and easily digestible, keeping everyone in the loop without completely disrupting their workflow.
Capture instant attention
With its real-time updates, the Desktop Ticker ensures that information is delivered as it happens, making it an effective tool for urgent communications. Its placement at the forefront of all applications guarantees that messages are seen instantly, and the moving element naturally draws attention to the message, just like a news ticker on TV does. Combined, this ensures that messages grab instant attention, making employees immediately aware of important updates.
