A COLLABORATION BETWEEN GROUP COMMUNICATION SPECIALISTS
Crosscall, which has developed expertise in group communications in recent years and won strategic tenders such as the one launched by the French Ministry of the Interior to equip the Gendarmerie and the National Police, is now working with Microsoft. The Walkie Talkie app in Microsoft Teams is easy, intuitive to use, and enables instant communication for your frontline employees using the dedicated button integrated with Crosscall smartphones or tablets.
Frontline workers can now use the dedicated push-to-talk button for Walkie Talkie in Teams on Crosscall’s rugged smartphones and tablets including the CORE-X4, CORE-M5, ACTION-X5, CORE-T4, and CORE-T5.
With this collaboration, Crosscall and Microsoft aim to meet the current challenges of frontline workers by enabling them to communicate with anyone from anywhere across geographic locations. The side button on Crosscall devices can launch the Walkie Talkie in Teams in one easy click and turn into digital walkie-talkies, delivering a single device for frontline communication replacing traditional radios. Teams meets the needs of frontline workers that are now going digital. Frontline workers can also collaborate with each other through messaging, file sharing, calling, calendaring, shifts scheduling, and tasks all within Teams. Frontline workers in different warehouses will be able to send each other information on available stocks and share follow-up documents in real time. A site manager will be able to quickly report a security problem that has occurred while sending photos of the site in question.
Group communication is increasingly common in companies today to facilitate collaboration and exchanges between teams in the field. Ultra-resistant, waterproof, with great autonomy and usable with gloves or wet fingers, Crosscall devices are the allies of all those who evolve in complicated and challenging environments such as professionals in construction, manufacturing, and logistics. With the Walkie Talkie app in Teams and Crosscall , frontline workers can enjoy clear, secure, and easy-to-use voice communication.
