From head office to the silo, even at the height of harvest.
Grain collection, supplies, stores, plants, technicians on farms: a cooperative's employees are spread across a whole territory, and few of them sit in front of a screen. We Advocacy brings head office information to wherever they are.
By notification, SMS or pop-up, depending on the team.
What makes communication in a cooperative unique.
Teams spread across a whole territory
Grain silos, supply depots, stores, processing plants: dozens of sites, often in rural areas, far from head office.
Seasonal activity peaks
Harvest, grain collection, supply campaigns: seasonal workers to onboard quickly, changing hours, information that has to keep up day by day.
A cooperative model to bring to life
Results, projects, subsidiaries, mergers: everyone needs to understand where the cooperative is heading and see themselves in it, from head office to the most remote site.

Equip all your sites, with no IT team on site.
Connect your directory or HRIS

Mobile access without email
Everyone receives a code by SMS, or scans a QR code displayed on site. No installation is needed on site.
The right channel for each team
Notifications for everyday information, SMS for urgent matters, pop-ups for office workstations.
The modules involved.
To reach teams without email on all your sites, the Platform plan includes the mobile app and access by SMS code or QR code.
Questions from cooperatives.
How do we give seasonal workers access?
As soon as they appear in your HRIS or directory, they receive their access by SMS, or sign in by scanning a QR code. When their contract ends, access is removed automatically by the synchronisation.
What happens in areas with poor network coverage?
SMS works without a data connection and arrives as soon as the phone picks up the mobile network. App notifications appear when the phone reconnects. For an urgent message, we therefore recommend combining the two.
Can we target a site, a job or a subsidiary?
Yes. Your directory attributes (site, job, entity, subsidiary) are used to target each message and to read results by population.
Can we communicate in several languages with seasonal workers?
Yes, with the translation add-on: each employee receives the content in their language, without entering it twice.
How long to equip every site?
Once the directory is connected, every site receives its access within minutes. The real lead time is change support: briefing site managers so they relay the approach to their teams.
