About Staffbase
Staffbase is a commercial employee communications platform that helps internal communications teams reach people across a company, including those who are not at a desk. The vendor describes it as an AI-native intranet and employee experience platform designed for hard-to-reach employees.
Its platform is made up of several channels and tools: an intranet, an employee app, internal email, a headless CMS, digital signage, live streaming for town halls, personalized audio briefings, an AI-assisted content tool, and a question-answering assistant called Navigator. The vendor also lists an integrations framework with connections to Microsoft, Google, ServiceNow and Cornerstone.
Staffbase is a hosted, proprietary product with a pricing page on its website and a demo option. It is aimed at mid-sized and large organizations that need one place to publish company news and target messages by role, location or device.
