Chat and collaboration

The conversation and the record, on one screen.

Team chat slides out over any page in Innersol. Share a lot, a quote or a purchase order into a channel and it shows up with its live status. Innersol itself posts there too: assignments, exceptions, approvals waiting. Chat users join for chat, files and the records shared with them.

Chat over any page

Keep working while you talk.

The chat is a panel, not a destination. Open it over the schedule, answer a question about a lot, close it and nothing has moved. Channels per team, direct messages, threads under a message and mentions that notify.

  • Channels for production, quality, shipping, sales and purchasing on day one, and your own.
  • Innersol's own messages: new inquiry assigned, PO waiting for approval, shipment exception, follow-up due.
  • Unread counts on the sidebar and on the phone, e-mail when you are away.
  • Search across messages and the records that were shared.

Records in the conversation

Share the record, not a screenshot.

Any record has a Share button. In the channel it appears as a card with its number, its name and its live status, and the status keeps moving after it was shared. People who may open it click through. People who may not see the card and can ask.

  • Quotes, orders, lots, purchase orders, batches, deviations, R&D projects, invoices and shipments.
  • Review a record shared with you and ask for changes from the card.
  • The record page shows where it was discussed, so the context is never lost.
  • Access follows the role: a chat user sees what was shared with them, nothing more.

Files and the chat bridge

Files stay with the conversation and the record.

Drop a COA, a label proof or a photo into the chat and it is kept with the message. Attach it to the lot or the order from there. If your team already lives in another chat tool, the chat bridge carries messages both ways so nobody has to switch.

  • Send and receive files in channels and direct messages, with a preview.
  • Attach a file from the chat to any record in one step, with the file type the record expects.
  • Chat bridge to your team chat tool: channels mapped, messages and files flowing both ways.
  • E-mail notifications for mentions and direct messages when you are not in Innersol.

Chat users

Everyone in the building, without a full user for each.

Machine operators, warehouse staff, the bookkeeper, an outside consultant. Chat users get chat, files and the records shared with them for $10 a month each. Innersol Chat on the desktop and on the phone is theirs too.

  • Chat, files, shared records and the checklists assigned to them.
  • Request a feature on every page, so the people doing the work shape the software.
  • Production users get the shop floor screens on a tablet without the office modules.
  • Move a chat user up to a full user whenever the job grows.

Questions

About Chat in Innersol

We already use a team chat tool. Do we have to switch?

No. The chat bridge maps your channels to Innersol's and carries messages and files both ways. Innersol's own messages, such as a PO waiting for approval, can land in your tool too.

What does a chat user cost?

$10 a month each, with three users minimum on the Basic plan. Chat users can be added to Starter, Growth and Professional, and they are included with Enterprise.

Can a customer see our chat?

No. Customers use the customer portal for approvals, order status and documents. Chat is for your team and the people you invite.
