Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs entered, by the method stated below it. EmployeeDeskHQ publishes no acknowledgement rate, no engagement benchmark and no response-time standard: the defaults are a worked example to replace with your own team's figures.
A cloud based communication platform earns its place in a small business on four tests, none of which is the word cloud: everyone can be reached on it including the people without a desk, the record survives any one phone being lost, nobody has to run a server, and leaving with your data is possible. The guidelines tool on this site sets up the channel rules free and without an account; EmployeeDeskHQ Pro is the platform half: the roster, the announcements and the acknowledgement record, kept in the cloud and exportable.

Reachability before features
The platform test is the person with no desk, no email habit and a shared phone. If the roster can record how that person is actually reached and the announcement lands there, it is a communication platform; if not, it is an office chat tool.
The record off the device
Cloud means the acknowledgement record is not on anyone's phone. When a phone is lost or a manager leaves, the announcements, the dates and the confirmations are still there, against the team, exportable.
Nothing to run
No server, no update round, no IT person: the platform is the browser and the phone the team already has. The free tools on this site work the same way, on the page, before any account exists.
Leaving must be possible
A platform you cannot export from is a platform you cannot leave, which is a price that never shows on the pricing page. Pro exports the roster and the record at any time, and for 90 days after you cancel. From the vendor's own pricing page: Blink lists Core at $5.60 per user per month billed monthly or $3.75 billed annually, and Pro at $7.00 monthly or $5.00 annually. EmployeeDeskHQ Pro is $29 per month for the whole team, which undercuts the per-user benchmark from six seats.
Cloud based communication platform: common questions
What makes a communication platform cloud based?
The record lives off the device: any phone can be lost and the roster, announcements and acknowledgements are still there, in the browser, exportable.
Do we need IT to set it up?
No. There is nothing to install and nothing to run; the free tools work on the page and Pro is an account.
Can we get our data out?
Yes, at any time while subscribed and for 90 days after: the roster and every announcement with its acknowledgements.

The tools are free forever. Pro turns them into the record: the team roster kept once, every announcement sent from it, every acknowledgement dated against the person, the chase list produced instead of remembered, your name and logo on every sheet, and an export when anyone asks who was told and when.
