Beekeeper: features, pricing and alternatives

About Beekeeper

Beekeeper is a commercial communication platform built for frontline and deskless workers, such as people on shop floors, in hotels, in warehouses or on the road. Because these employees often do not sit at a computer, the product is designed to work mainly from a phone.

The vendor's website could not be read when this entry was prepared, so detailed feature lists and pricing are not summarized here. It is a hosted, proprietary service for companies rather than a tool you install yourself, and current plans should be confirmed with the vendor.
